3 to 6 weeks

3 to 6 weeks is the amount of time that we should be counting down to our summer vacation. 3 to 6 weeks is the amount of time until we go to see our favorite singer in concert. But for the princess you see above, 3 to 6 weeks is the amount of time in her life that she has been given. Just 3 to 6 weeks. Cancer has stolen so much from Ellie Shoal Potvin. So much. It's solen much of her childhood (she was diagnosed two years ago on July 2nd, I believe). It's stolen her beautiful blonde hair. It's stolen her ability to walk now. It's stolen her ability to go to school and be with her friends. Now, after a 2-year-long fight, it's just going to steal her life too. It just isn't fair. Ellie is so strong, so so strong. She's fought long and hard for these past 2 years. She isn't ready to give up this fight either.

When you look into Ellie's beautiful blueish green eyes, you see love - the love of God. Ellie is an angel. What do you when you are told that your child has 3-6 weeks to live? Well, I don't know. Ellie is in a lot of pain physically. Amy, Tim and Grace are in a lot of pain too. Emotionally. Please keep this whole family in your prayers. 3 to 6 weeks is just so unfair.
