Katie said crying “Why?” Colleen said “Cancer can asleep you Katie Elizabeth. ” Katie said crying “I don’t care” again. She said “Okay, I guess you can keep your tumor forever. ” Katie said “Thank you mommy. ” She said “Whatever. I guess you don’t care about me anymore. ” Katie said crying “No mommy. I don’t. You tell me to go to bed. “

Colleen said “Okay. I guess you don’t like being told what to do. I have to play along with that. ” Katie said crying “Thank you mommy. ” Colleen went to talk to Russell. She said “Katie wants to just be left alone. ” Russell started crying. He said “I can’t survive Christmas without her. ” She said “I know sweetie but she would cry if I tell her to come back to live with us. “

Russell said crying “Why can’t she wait until after Christmas? I would let her be free forever after Christmas. ” Colleen said “I agree but I have a feeling that she would cry if I say that she can’t have her tumor anymore. ” He said crying “Why? There is the Dish With Blake Foundation which supplies nice soft blankets. I asked Beth to make me a blue fuzzy blanket and I just love it. “
