This is Katie. She is beautiful. But not like other girls. Her beauty arises from within and then explodes all over her face. It isn't what you see when you look at her; it is what you feel when you are with her. That is Katie's beauty. Katie had just turned 13 when she received the diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma. Her first round of treatment was as good as it could possibly be, but her relapse came only a few weeks later and it was about as bad as it could be. Katie died on October 10th, 2017 as we held her. The journey has been difficult. The grief continues. What started as a blog to keep friends and family updated has morphed into a place of healing as I process, listen and write. Maybe something that God says to me will resonate with you. If not, that's ok. I don't write for you. I write for me. I hope you knew Katie. I wish you could know Katie. I wanted to spend a little more time with her, too. Katie had a light that led people to Jesus. And her light still shines. I just want to be a part of that.
