It's hard sometimes, to know that I'm only nine, but I'm going to die soon. All the other kids have their whole lives to look forward to, but I might only have the next few weeks. A few months ago, I was just normal kid, but then it happened. I found out I had cancer. I wonder if anyone knows what it's like for a nine-year old like me, Linda, to have to sit at school every day, wondering how much longer she has left. I try not to worry about it though. Every day I think to myself, maybe this week is all I have, and I try to make the best of each day. I'm not afraid to die, though. I know God is waiting for me.
