It is a blog of a 15 year old girl in England named Alice who has been battling cancer for 4 years and it's gotten to the point where she isn't expected to win. This young life that has so much left to experience is more rapidly being taken from her yet her attitude is inspiring. I don't know if I could put on such a strong game face as she does. She says, "You only have one life - live it!" Regardless of what happens to her, she is a miracle. She is spreading the message of the meaning of life and the importance of persistence and motivation and passion. She has in a short amount of time inspired thousands of people to take action in some way.
I found myself balling my eyes out because she deserves to have a long life. I looked at the links on her blog (this 15 year old is a gifted blogger, I cant figure out how to make mine look that great and link things up like that for a million dollars). She shares a UK link called Post Pals - Happy posts for poorly kids. Here you can be linked to many children with terminally ill diseases. I began to cry harder. Why do cruel things happen to innocent people/children? This website is amazing though because it gives you the opportunity to learn about different children and write them letters (similar to what I've done with children at elementary schools for CMN hospital patients). The link is: http://www.postpals.co.uk/ and I encourage everyone to find one child they'd like to make smile.
Making others smile (whether you see the smile or not) makes a world of difference in a place where hope is the fuel for tomorrow.
