Last night Cosmo mentioned that friends of ours recently found out their daughter has ovarian cancer. She's a year younger than T. And has a beautiful head full of ginger-colored hair.
It didn't really sink in last night. I think I was still in Orientation mode but today I thought of sweet Camille all day. And my thoughts kept going to her family. We've known them for probably 10 years or so. I thought about her big brother (who is one of the nicest kids on the planet). And her dad. And her mom. Especially her mom. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through right now. She's a happy, out-going, vivacious young lady with an incredible family to support her. Camille has started chemo and will probably lose all of that glorious hair but her prognosis is good. Great even. I know, I know. Her hair will grow back and that's the least of her worries right now. It's just weird how things pop into your head sometimes.

I was watching something on tv last night about this 16 y/o that had cancer. It made me so thankful and grateful for the health of both of my children (16 & 10). I just don't know what I would do if anything happened to either of them, it's unfathomable. I will send up a prayer for Camille's family.
