Avery's Bucket List

Thursday, May 03, 2012

This story is an example of why we should count every single day as a blessing...

Little something about this brave little girl (extracted from her blog):
"a 5-month old little girl named Avery who has an incurable disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). While SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants & children under the age of 2, most people have never heard of it, there is no cure for it, and there's minimal clinical research being done to find a cure for it. Avery has created a "bucket list" of things she'd like to accomplish before she dies"
The sad thing is, this little girl has already passed. It's really sad. Read the blog posts (which are written from the perspective of Avery) and you can find that every little thing that people take for granted is viewed as a huge accomplishment for her. She even wanted to go on the ELLEN show (woots imma big fan of ELLEN too *hi five!*) on Mayday, but she passed the day before (T.T)....
Every kid should have a childhood, and that illness took it away from her. Illness that stupid asshole. Anyways, reading on, I really liked one post of hers titled "SMA please don't take my smiles away". It's really nice to see that the illness didn't manage to take away her smiles, or at least to others that she knew. Yes and randomly, i tot of today and i believed i smiled like almost the whole way after MY LAST PAPER OF THE SEMESTER! Yes, I really can't help but just keep smiling because it feels like a really heavy weight lifted off my shoulders! Like crazy, i know. But whatever, at least i got my smile back =) And i watched 'The Avengers' today and got 2 "free" collectacups. muahaha~ Yes, why isit "free"? Because some spendthrifts left them at the theatre and with my hawk eye vision i managed to spot them and kope them before anything happens. haha really happy cause I wanted to add an avengers cup to my cup collection..and now i have 2! woots! (more reasons to smile again =D) Yay, soooo happy belated-Mayday to everyone, and here i'll leave with a quote: "The greatest wealth is health." -Virgil. So true...
