It was four years ago today, September 9th, that we found out Brooke’s cancer had returned for a second round. (Round One began 8.5 years ago, in Feb, 2009.) What a crazy ride it’s been.
Now she’s completely healthy and back to the business of being an almost-ten-year-old. She blends right in with the other girls with her ponytail and her detailed knowledge of the latest Disney Channel shows….but I see her special magic. I know what she did. I watched her turn dark into light right in front of me, starting before she could even talk in full sentences! Over and over again day after day she found reasons to smile and ways to bring fun to everything. Beating cancer with her was kind of a blast, even though it was super tough too.
It’s amazing what we’re capable of when we believe in magic.
