Years ago I met some nice nice people in Pleasant Hill. Mrs. Dykes asked me over for supper. Her granddaughters were there; one of those granddaughters, Paula, has a husband and two little girls now. One of the little girls, Alli, was rushed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in February, diagnosed with a kind of cancer called neuroblastoma. Alli is 4.
A few things...
There is a website called caringbridge.org and you can meet Alli there. Log in, choose a password, and then type alli_gator_callender. Paula's former pastor has kept me up to speed, said I would be "pretty amazed" at what I saw, and he was right...In his most recent note he said..."Alli is still at St. Jude, recovering from surgery last Friday; she is now 90% cancer free after having gone through the surgery and 2 pretty hard rounds of chemo. If you check that Caring Bridge site ... you can follow her journey and see the amazing response of people all over the world!"
