I wrote this 7 years ago: "Wow, what all started with blood work and mono has now become any parents worst nightmare. On Wednesday, September 12, CaLeigh was diagnosed with leukemia. A day I will never forget. CaLeigh started treatment yesterday, did pretty well but stomach is very upset today. She is a strong girl, more than her mom. The leukemia she has is ALL, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a cancer involving the blood forming cells that normally make a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte. The leukemia cells have crowded out the healthy cells in her bone marrow. ALL is the most common childhood cancer. Two words that should never be said together, childhood cancer."
At that moment you are not thinking of the future, you are thinking, just save my baby girl. The things CaLeigh had to go through are just not fair. But... it has made her who she is, which is pretty damn awesome. She is one strong determined young lady. I'm sure that anyone that knows her would agree. CaL is starting her senior year at Henry and I couldn't be more proud. She is an amazing leader and role model for all. When you see CaL please give her a hug or shout out because this "anniversary" is a huge reminder of all she has overcome. CaLeigh Rae, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE!
