Susan, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, had liver cancer. She was left with a number of large scars on her stomach and right side. One day at kindergarten, several of her friends saw the scars and asked where she got them. She said, “Oh, I was wounded in the war,” and then added, “and what a war it was.”
“I wish everyone who has cancer could benefit from it somehow,” she wrote. “The saddest thing to me is when a person suffers through chemotherapy, radiation and surgery and doesn’t learn anything about themselves through the process. My cancer is a gift.”
Emily was four and in chemotherapy. One day at the mall, he struck a conversation with a woman who confided she had a cold. The woman then said to Emily, “How are you?” Emily responded matter-of-factly, “Oh, not so good. I have a runny nose, an owie on my foot, and a tumor.”

Bert was five years old and fighting neuroblastoma. He loved to draw. One day when he was asked, “Are you going to be an artist when you grow up?” he said indignantly, “I am an artist.”
“My mother said, ‘You’re not going to die.’”
“Did you believe her?”
“Hey, when my mother says something you don’t dare question it.”
(Ann, age 10, Page, Arizona)
