My friends 8 yr old daughter is dying of cancer. On Saturday night she asked her mom what day it was. Then Hadley said "we'll go to church tomorrow..then, on Monday I'm going to go to heaven in a helicopther." This has been a 4 year journey that they've reached the end of. No mother is ever prepared. But Angela is as prepared as she can be and knows that Hadley will feel better. Hadley has said she's ready to not hurt anymore. Please remember this little girl in your prayers as she gets closer to the gates of heaven. She knows where she is going and she knows who is there waiting for her. God Bless this girl. My heart breaks for her and her family.

Hadley has not passed yet but her hospice nurse said that she is making the natural progression towards death. She is sleeping @ 20-22 hours a day and her sleep pattern is getting to the deeper sleep that is hard to arouse her from. Please keep them in your prayers. Her mommy got very scared the other day and thought she had seen the last time Hadley would be awake when Hadley just wouldn't wake up for a while as her mom was trying to wake her. This is a heartbreaking journey.

My goodness this girl is a trooper. She is still with us here on earth. To read about Hadley please check her site at www.hadleyfox.com for more info on her and to follow her progression if you'd like.

All this is so sad, I cant imagine being in this mom's situation, but I am praying for her and her Baby, I watch my daughter have a allergic reaction to a medication called diltin it cause her to have 2nd degree burns from her scap to the souls of her feet, so I can imagine the pain the that this mother is going through watching nature take its course. Tell your friend that i am praying for her and her baby no one wants to see their child in pain. I know that for a fact!

a loss of a child is hard to bear.. but i know god will see them all through... this mother will have some hard days ahead the first yr is always the hardest and she will need good friends to help her through it.. so be there no matter what.. this childs birthday and all the holidays will be really hard.. just hope you will be there for this mother after all the flowers and cards and phone calls stop... been there and no one was there for me and still no one is around..

I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE LOOSING A CHILD TO THE DISEASE, BUT I KNOW IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN IT SHOULD, GOD BLESS HER AND TAKE AWAY HER PAIN, I WILL HAVE THEM ALL IN MY PRAYERS.
