ELLIE AND GRACE
Today i want to write about two special little ladies Ellie, and Grace Potvin, these wonderful girls stole my heart for very particular reasons. Daugthers of Amy and Tim, these beautiful ladies not only share the date of their birth, a day like today October 31st nine years ago... they also share a story full of courage and love.... The story began in 2008 when Ellie, then 6 years old, started having leg pains, everyone thought those where only growing pains, unfortunately she was later diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer (rhabdomyosarcoma)... that was the moment their lifes changed forever.
After 42 long and excrutiating chemoterapy sessions Ellie was in remision as of June 2009, but 3 months later cancer came back, even after that, Ellie and her family, held tight to God's hand with faith and hope, started treatments all over again, this time ready to kick cancer's butt.
Sadly, on June 23, 2010 Ellie heard the angels call and got her wings at 11:35am....
I was fortunate enough to know about Ellie and her wonderful family through the words of her mother Amy onwww.caringbridge.org/visit/elliepotvin. Her words connect not only me, but several people around the world through prayers and faith.. to prove not only how great and endless God's love can be, but also how there angels with and without wings that HE sends to earth to give us lessons of love.
Ellie and Grace are an inspiration and an example of what love can do, they have thought a lot, to all of us who have had the oportunity to know their story. They travel a difficult road, and each one of them showed us, in a different way, how to be brave and keep strong... Ellie while going through her treatments, Grace being there for her sister, knowing Ellie will go to heaven and preparing herself for the lost of her twin... i know Grace, Tim and Amy, are now waiting for the day they all be together with Ellie again, it will be a sunny afternnon by the beach, Ellie's favorite place and just how she thought heaven looked like...
Ellie and Grace, thanks for all your lessons, Happy Birthday!!! LOVE IS FOREVER... SISTERS ARE TOO !!! NO MATTER WHAT
