There was a story in Friday's Ft. Worth Star-Telgram that really stuck with me. The story told of a 7 year-old girl named Trinity Bright who has an inoperable brain tumor. Since her family feared she wouldn't make it to the end of the month, they, along with the rest of her neighborhood, decided to have an early Halloween for Trinity. The entire neighborhood dressed up, went trick or treating, and had a big block party. Maybe it's because I have a 7 year-old, maybe it's because I've had a cancer scare myself, or maybe it's just the timing of it, but my heart just broke for this family.
Today's Star-Telegram reported that little Trinity Bright passed away yesterday, just two days after her early Halloween.
Sometimes I don't understand why children have to go through such horrible things, and I can't imagine being a parent and watching a disease ravage a young child's little body. I get angry sometimes at the pain that I live with, but I'm an adult. I don't understand it, and I like it even less- But, still, I'm an adult and know that sometimes things just happen. Children don't understand this.
My thoughts and prayers go out to this family this evening, and may their little girl rest in peace and be free from the pain that she has had to experience.
