The last line of this is indeed depressing. When I originally wrote this is was partly coping with secondary grief. After I posted this, my friend's kid was diagnosed with the same nasty form of cancer (#1 most fatal brain cancer in kids) and I could not handle keeping the ending as it was anymore. I want this amazing little one to beat the previously-impossible odds and go on to live all her crazy dreams.
