The True Meaning of Christmas
As readers know we have a cartoon at the top of our homepage. It is called "Day by Day" and it is done by Chris Muir. He has made a request of his friends within the blogosphere to help out a young girl this holiday season. He linked to a site called Smart Girl Politics. At the site was this heart-wrenching story:
Many of you may remember my dear friend, Chris Garman, who lost her battle with breast cancer 2 years ago. When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, she was pregnant with her third child. Her doctors didn't think Chris would live through her pregnancy without treatment, so they took a chance & gave her chemo while she was pregnant. Chris survived her pregnancy & had a beautiful, healthy little girl named Hannah Faith.Chris died when Hannah was three.
Hannah is now five, and this breaks my heart all over again, but In October, Hannah has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor.
She was given about 12 weeks to live. She was going to be the flower girl in a wedding in May, but was diagnosed A week after she was asked.
Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bed And cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting from people, but she LOVES getting cards - she has gotten so many from people she does not know and just loves to have grandma read about the people who send Them and see their pictures and is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards.
When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how Many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school groups where children are making her cards. People are including pictures so she can see who it i s that i s sending her the card.If you would like to help with her wish, please send her a card at:
Hannah Garman
704 Orchard Rd
Lititz, PA 17543
THANKS! Feel free to pass this along to your own prayer group, church,school, etc. Let's see if we can have the cards coming in big postal bags for her this Christmas, since it will be her last holiday.
Please pray for her family. Her older brother & sister watched their mom go through This just two short years ago and now they are watching their baby sister go through this.
Ladies and gentlemen, Christmas is all about family, and making wishes come true. Please join us in sending little Hannah a card, and please keep her in your prayers. Let us make sure she has the best Christmas possible.
