Have you ever shed tears because of something your child has written? Keona - my 9 year old - brought home everything from school. I went through her papers and I found a Newspaper Article she had written for school. I'd like to share it with the rest of you...in her own words .... and spelling ....
Title of the Newspaper - KEONA'S FAMILY - only 25cents
When Keona came home from school, her mom said, "I have brest canser." Keona said, "What do you mean." Her mom said, "The doctor took out 13 lifnods and 6 were canser." Keona wished she didn't have canser. Keona cried in her mom's arms. Her brother Zavier didn't know what canser really was. Keona and Zavier kept asking questions about canser. Some of their friends made dinner or bought dinner and brought it over to Keona's house. The Dad of Keona has suporting Keona's family. Keona came home from school and her mom was wearing her wig. Keona didn't now she was wearing her wig. So 20 mins later her mom took it off. I saw the wig off her head. Keona got to put it on her head. Now Keona is sad that her mom is now throwing up. Keona wishes she was better now. Keona hates seeing her mom like this. Keona wants to help her mom so she can get better. Keona hates see her mom like this. Keona's mom is feeling real sick. That's all for today!
Until you read your child's words, you don't know how they are really feeling. Obviously, this was harder on Keona than she ever let on to me. I just praise God that HE always knows what's really going on inside and HE loves my kids more than I ever could - with a perfect love. So, HE was taking care of Keona when I didn't know she needed to be taken care of!
Keona has been a solid rock for me - always helping - caring - and so gentle to me. I praise God for creating a wonderful little girl full of love and compassion. She is a true gift from God to me and I take that gift seriously!
I am blessed!
