Today when I went bowling with my mom and sister, we met this amazing little girl named Brianna who just turned five. We met her by she looks almost identical as to I when I was that age and according to my mom had the same personality traits I did when I was that age. It was to the dot that my mom even said our bowling style was almost the same. She was just so happy and full of life; jumping around and giggling like there was no tomorrow. Another weird thing is that she had a brother three years older than her, as do I, and during the day her grandmother, who she calls mamaw, watches her and her brother, as did my grandmother, which i call mamaw, watched my brother and I during the days in the summer when our parents were working. And our birthdays are only two weeks apart. So, right now this all seems pretty pointless, right? Well, it's actually a post to ask y'all to pray for Brianna. She has a rare child's form of arthritis which, as it prolongs, causes the patient to become crippled and basically have no movement what so ever. She has to get chemotherapy once a week as well as having blood drawn (not the normal one tube that most people get, but three tubes) on a weekly basis. She's also on pain medication and other drugs that will hopefully hold off the arthritis for awhile but eventually she'll more than likely become cripple. Just please pray for this little girl. She was honestly one of the happiest and cutest kids i've ever seen and it's pretty much heartbreaking knowing that she at the age of five has to go through all of this. Just pray.
