The CANCER talk

This past  week Emma over heard Robert and I talking about Elizabeth Edwards and her passing. Emma heard the word cancer, Emma asked what is cancer?  I broke it down for a 5 year old to understand.

Emma said "that's bad, it's good no one in our family has cancer."   Now the hard part to look in to her eyes and tell her. Emma daddy has cancer, her bright blue eyes where sad, Robert had to leave the room. Emma ask where is dadda's cancer? I told her in daddy's lungs and broke it down once again for a 5 year to understand. Emma asked if she could pray to God? I said yes, that the best thing for daddy.

Emma's pray
     Dear God, please lay your healing hands on daddy, God you are the biggest doctor, Amen.
