$100

Remember my previous post that included my neighbor's daughter, Riley?  Well, Monique told me something about Riley that made me cry.  It was a good cry though.  Sometimes I think us adults underestimate children in what they know and how they can make very grown-up decisions.

Riley's teacher asked each student to write down what they would do if they had $100.  Any kid Riley's age might pick a new American Girl Doll, shopping spree at a toy store, or new clothes from Justice.  Not Riley, she want's to give her $100 to me to "pay for my cancer".  It has truly amazed me how she has processed me having breast cancer and how often she thinks about me and what I'm going through.

I love you so much Riley!
