Hi everybody.
I really dont know how to start this, but here I go......

I have a friend named Jason (Pug). I met Pug and his adorable wife while working with Pug at Page. Since I have left there, we have kept in touch and remain friends.
Alittle over a year ago, his niece, Sadie, was diagnosed with brain cancer, a rare brainstem tumor called a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG. It is very rare and is in a spot where surgery or a biopsy isn't possible. She is 6 years old.
Although I have never met Sadie or her parents, her story caught me. I have kept track of Sadie and her battle with this monster through her mom's blog and a few emails with her mom, Tiffany. This little girl is the strongest, bravest, most beautiful little girl. Her mom's strength also amazes me. I look up to her as a woman and a mother.
Recently Sadie has taken a turn for the worse and I cant describe to you the pain in my heart that I feel for her and her family. While I sit here and type this, I cant control the tears. Nobody should ever have to go through what this family is going through.

I just really want this little girl to know how she has touched me and made me look at life a whole different way. When my little baby wants another hug before I leave in the morning, instead of worrying that I may be late for work, I give it to him! When he wants to spend 10 more minutes at the playground I let him. When he wants to sleep with mommy and cuddle cause he had a bad dream, I let him. You never know what tomorrow brings. Sadie inspires me to be a better person and has brought back faith that I didn't know that I had lost. I know from her blog that Sadie has touched many peoples lives. More than she will ever know. What an amazing little girl.
I want her family to know that they are all in my prayers and I want to ask everybody I know to keep them in your prayers also.
