Lost my granddaughter today ...

My amazing beautiful bravest of the brave granddaughter lost her battle to acute myeloid leukaemia today ... she's just 18 .. in January we were all going on the holiday of a lifetime to see mickey mouse in Florida... 2 days before she was taken sick and rushed up to London cancer hospital where instead of mickey mouse,  she had chemo and radio and a stem cell transplant .. 

All was looking hopeful she even had her 18th birthday in the middle of it in the hospital .. because of covid only her mum and dad were allowed to visit .. I couldn't even give her a cuddle in these last month's..

She lost her beautiful hair and still smiled through everything ... we thought she'd got it on the run .. but no ... it had come back with a vengeance... my amazing daughter in law was her rock .. and mine when I went through my breast cancer... now she's lost her daughter, who is just starting out in life ... all our hearts are broken ... 

I've been on here 3 years now, trying to help along the way .. this year we've lost a niece to cystic fibrosis... my sister to dementure now the crulest blow of all .. so Jess if your up there listening, know you were so loved ... you deffinatly earned your wings ... and to cancer ... you suck big time ...  Chrissie

  • Oh Chrissie,

    I'm so sorry to have missed your post, I can only imagine in my darkest hours what you and your family are going through this year. Jess sounds like a wonderful person.

    2020 has been a tragic year for so many people in so many ways, but you seem to have been affected worse than almost anyone I know. 

    I don't have the words, so I'll stop here.

    Best wishes - thinking of you and yours.
