Jennifer, Katrina and Suzanne were three little girls.
I use to call them My angels.
Katrina was a beautiful little girl. She wore glasses over her beautiful blue eyes and her mom always put her hair in Pig tails. she always had a smile on her cute dimpled face. A Tiny petite little thing she was.
Suzanne was more a rough tuff little tom boy. she had Brown hair and pretty Hazel eyes. she was a Fiesty litle one. A tuff cookie. played rough with the boys. and rougher with the girls.
Jennifer was the leader of the pack. she is My baby Domme.
Long Brown hair and brown eyes. and not afraid to tell it like it is, but 100% all girl.
All three were the same age. They were in school together and would go out and play at recess and they each had a big brother which is how they met at a Boy scout meeting.
They always had each other to play with and talk to. these little angels were inseperable.
Katrina started missing a lot of school days over a short period of time. she seemd to be seeing a doctor a lot. or leave school early with head aches.
one of her appointments showed a Tumor in her brain. Everyone was concerned when we heard the news. it was Heart breaking.
She was Diagnosed with Cancer , after several months of Chemo Therapy she was Taken to St Judes Hospital. She was under treatment there for a few more months. When she finally came home, My daughter and Suzanne wanted to go visit their dear friend.
We all met at house and headed over for a quick visit. I explained to the girls that she was very sick and we couldnt stay long. It took a lot of energy just to visit. We showed up at the house just as the Oxygen company was changing out the tank. we came in and the house was filled with Grandparents and other family members. It was very Realistic now for all of us. My eyes looked upon her, there she lay, fraile, weak, pale, very sick and very little hair. I knew it was a matter of time. I held back tears.
The girls seemed ok, although they were very quiet and didnt ask questions. I knew the questions would be asked of me later in the car.
I spoke to her mom and she told me Katrina told her she was tired and just wanted to go home. She was a brave little gilr and knew she was dieing.
we only stayed for 15 minutes and i made up an excuse to leave when I could hear the grandmother crying in the kitchen.
Her fathers eyes were Teary and although her mom had a stern look on her face, I knew deep down inside she was in agony, I was too.
We left the house and the questions began. I tried to answer as much as I could. The girls were quiet now and I knew this was life changing for everyone.
A few days later we got the call, our dear little angel Katrina had gone to Heaven. She passed in her sleep. It was a very difficult time for Suzanne and Jennifer.
A year Later, Suzanne was diagnosed with Cancer too. Jennifer was devastated, worried that she was going to loose her best friend.
It all started again, Missing school, doctors appointments and Chemo. after a few months, of worrying we finally were able to visit Suzanne.
she didnt look Weak, but she did have some hair loss. In no time she was back in school, she wore a cute little Hat and soon was her fiesty self again.
That was 20 years ago. Jennifer and Suzanne are still friends. Suzanne is married and has Three beautiful Angels of her own. Jennifer is Married and has One beautiful Son.
They have get together's and Talk daily on Facebook, They still remember Katrina and miss her dearly.
Katrina's Parents Moved away and live in Montana now. It was very difficult for them to stay in our small town. They are doing better now and have added two children since their little angle went to heaven. I admire their strength and ability to move forward. The loss of a Child is painful and unnatural. although Katrina will never be forgotten, she still lives in our hearts. I can still see her bright little smile.
