Sarah Pease, Sarah Strong

Here's a moving story, from FOX 6 News:

 
Struggles detailed in an online diary. In one entry Sarah wrote, "In June I was in Kentucky helping rebuild houses. In July, I was in Alaska and climbed a mountain. Now I'm here, it doesn't seem fair."

In another she writes, "I'm hoping to have a nice Super Bowl party at home complete with brats." She received an Honorary Commission to West Point and Make a Wish, granted one of her dreams to meet her favorite band Maroon 5.

The morning after her father wrote an entry in her diary reading, "Sarah held my hand as we looked into each other's eyes and slipped away. I praise God that she did not have to endure more pain."

This is heartbreaking.

I pray Sarah's family finds comfort and strength in their faith, knowing that she is at peace.

According to this FOX 6 report, Sarah's friends say if her story has touched you, DONATE to a leukemia charity, DONATE to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, or DONATE blood. DONATE to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

How Strong? Sarah Strong!
