WEDNESDAY WARRIOR – MILLIE

This is Millie.  

Millie, the baby of 9 children.  

Millie, an aunt to 6 nieces and nephews.  

Millie, our beautiful blond curly headed girl. 

Millie, a precious 3-year-old who never saw her 4^th birthday. 

Millie was a true warrior.  At the age of 2.5 she was diagnosed with Stage 4, Neuroblastoma.  Millie battled this horrific cancer for 1 year and 18 long days.  She was BRAVE and COURAGEOUS in the face of many painful and scary medical procedures.  She was filled with LOVE and COMPASSION for her family, friends, and other cancer fighters. She had a JOY in her heart that kept her living life to the fullest even as her life on earth was coming to an end.  She loved her time at home on her farm, spent with her family. She enjoyed fishing, working with daddy, and her swing in the yard.  Her favorite place to be at the end of the day was in the rocking chair with her mama asking, “Can I sleep in your lap?”.

On July 8, 2020 Millie closed her eyes here on earth and opening them up to the face of Jesus.

Millie’s earthly life is over, but her story and the story of her family is not.  

Every year more than 400, 000 families around the world hear the same devastating words we did on June 20, 2019.  “Your child has cancer”.  

Every year in America alone, we lose over 3,774 kids to cancer.  These families like ours are left to pick up the pieces of their broken hearts and try to go on with life. The parents are left grieving the loss of their child while trying to help their other children understand the loss of their sibling.  The parents are trying to return to work yet walking through a fog of grief. They are often left with huge medical bills that remain after treatment. These parents and families need to be remembered and supported long after their child has passed away. 

Please pray for our family and the many others like us that have a child gone too soon.  If our story touches you or you are walking in the same journey we are, please find us on Millie’s Miracle Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Mountfamily/
