This is heartbreaking....
I don't know if you've heard of Make a Child Smile. I used to have a link in my signature - essentially, it's a website which allows you to send cards or gifts to children with life threatening illnesses. One of the featured kids from a while back, a ten year old girl named Alexa, had an aggressive form of brain cancer which was in remission for many months. However, she recently relapsed and things are not looking good.

Could you send her a card or something? Please?

1. Okay. I'm kicking this.
Yes, I know I am the queen of kicking my own posts.

But this is important.

6. You know what? I'm kicking this again.
A pain in the ass, perhaps, but not without good cause.
