The letter

You will always be more than a fan. I know you got your wish and I will see you when I get my angel wings too.

The Letter

Dear God,

I am writing you this letter since you are not listening

to my prayers, I know you are very busy and all the angels

must be also there. Because I have been waiting for your

answer and for all of my prayers to come true while I

lay here in this bed getting sicker, for I heard the doctor tell

my mommy that this cancer has now spread all through.

I am writing to you to let you know that I am not scared

at all and I know that I will be an angel and be with you before

the end of this fall. Can I please pick out the color of my

pretty angel wings? My mommy's favorite is light blue and it

hurts me to see her crying every day, asking you why I am sick

and God what did she do. My daddy is really a good man and

I know he still loves you, so please don't be mad at him for all

the names that he has been calling you. He is trying hard to

not cry in front of me but I hear him when he thinks I am asleep,

so I tell him, daddy, it will all be okay when I am an

angel I will come back to see you and I love you just you wait

and see. I am looking forward to flying up in heaven, just like

all the pretty birds I see out of my window that fly so very high

but I wonder if they had cancer too and did they also have to

die? Is it pretty up in there in heaven? Are there any other kids

just like me? Do we get to hear stories like my daddy told before

I had to go to sleep? Do we have to go to school? I

only ask because I will miss all of my friends. Did you see

they made me all these get well cards that say please come

back soon and with all of their love they did send.

I really need to ask you a favor please if that's okay? Can you

look over my mommy she isn't doing very well. I hope I

didn't give her my cancer because the doctor said it spread.

If I did you can tell me please, I promise I won't tell.

Well, I am ready so when you read this letter I will be waiting

for you. But for now, I need to go and write a letter to my

mommy and daddy so that I can say goodbye and that I will

see you soon in heaven and I will always love you..

Love always,

Hanna
