On October 9th, 2008 (I was 4 1/2) I was diagnosed with a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (that's a tumor in the brain stem). Delaney won her battle, took Jesus' hand and earned her beautiful 'green' Angel Wings on 12/01/09 at 8:33am. She was 5 years 8 months old. Delaney never complained during her treatment. At just 4, she learned to swallow huge pills, so she wouldn't have to have liquid medicine. She loved to hide, and jump out and scare people, and was always telling jokes, I think this is what made her the perfect "April Fools" baby. We miss her terribly every day, and will continue to raise awareness so future families don't have to endure the torture that is watching your child fight and die from cancer...
