On Monday this little girl, Mikhaila
Palmer I knew died
during an opperation. She had cancer not only once, but twice.
The whole community supported her. They had a thing called Team
Mikhaila for her.
I knew there was a chance she'd die, but she'd already
had an opperation before and she survived that.
She died on the opperating table. She had a blood clot in her
brain. I don't know too much and I wasn't that close to
her but it still bothers me and I usally don't get worked up
about this stuff.
I guess the thing that bothers me the most is how young she was.
Just 12 years old. Probally never had her first kiss before, and
she never can now. She had her whole life ahead of her. I
couldn't imagine going through what she was at 12. All those
treatments. It's sad.
I know another girl named Mikhailia (let's call her Mikhailia
F.) and I just can't help thinking, why not Mikhailia F.?
Why?
