I sat down,
To watch TV,
Surfed the channels,
And found a plea.

There sat a little girl,
No hair atop her head,
Sitting on Daddy’s lap,
This is what she said:

“I don’t ask for a pony,
I don’t ask for a doll,
I don’t ask for a million dollars,
I don’t ask for much at all.

All I want,
My only ambition,
Is for my cancer,
To go in remission.”

All of you out there,
Who read this story,
Please take the time,
To pray for little Tory.

This was written for all of the children with cancer, God Bless.

So it is written, so it is done.  A precious request for what must be a precious little girl.  I "emailed" him and an waiting for a reply.  Very touching write and request.  That is what being a hero is about.  You truly have become one in championing this request for a girl you don't know.
