She earned her wings this afternoon, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family. I will write more when I'm able.
Rest in peace my beautiful girl.

I will always love you, Athena.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of Athena.
You did all you could for her and she knew that she was surrounded by your love!

Athena has been an Angelon earth, nw shehas her Angel wings to make it official and eternal.
My heart aches for you and we all cry with you. I will write more when I can stop my heart from crying.
I just wanted to quicklypost this photo. I went to a store I'd never been to today....just felt compelled to goin....was drawn straight to these Angel wings made out of feathers....walked out the store...pleased that I walked out empy handed. Turned, walked back in and purchased these. Told the clerk I just had ro come back and get this...didn't kow why. She laughed and said, "there must be a reason...you'll figure it out later." Came home....saw your post.....
Now I know why.....

Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
