Jeorjia

“Jeorjia,” the doctor said softly, “the test results for leukemia came back positive. You have cancer.”

The mommy gave out a wild cry and let her head fall into her hands.

Jeorjia, alarmed not because of the diagnosis but because of her mother’s reaction, ran to her mother’s side and patted her back.

“It’s alright, Mommy. It’s ok. I’ll be fine.”

The mommy grabbed the little girl and hugged her so close the little girl could hardly breath. The girl kept patting the mommy’s back.

“It’s ok, Mommy, I’ll be fine. It’s ok. It’s just another result. It’ll be ok.”
