A Precious Angel Returning to Heaven



I'm not sure if you've been reading my past blog posts, Facebook statuses, or Twitter posts, but there has been a little, precious angel who has been inspiring a lot of people from her home in Texas.

She is Layla Grace and at 2 years old has gone through more in those few short years than many adults. I've spoken about her story here, and her mom's blog about Layla's struggle is written here.

Early on this morning, March 9, Layla Grace passed away from Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Her family informed all of Layla's Twitter followers this afternoon of this news, and I can't imagine the pain and grief that was behind this terribly sad post. Countless amounts of prayers and positive thoughts have been given from all around the world to the Marsh home in Texas, and I think we all wanted a miracle for Layla to get better or at least for the angels to take her peacefully.

Unfortunately, the angels took her home and she's now flying around in Heaven watching over her family and the thousands of people who prayed for her.

In the name of Layla Grace and for all the other children suffering from childhood illnesses, do something for someone else today, tomorrow, all the time. In Layla's name, I have joined the Friends of St. Jude New York City chapter and am so excited to begin raising money and helping to rid the world of childhood diseases.

Now, its your turn.

  1. May her soul rest in peace. I wasn't aware of her story until now. Thanks for sharing.

    And that's why I passed the Happy Award to you. Go grab it from my blog! ;p

  2. Thanks, Johana! You're so very sweet. (And, by the way, your blog MAKES my day and whenever I read it I laugh out loud.)

    xoxo
