This is a girl who is a friend to my daughter Rikki's classmate.

She has documented her struggle with cystic fibrosis on her blog. CBC made a documentary about her which my kids saw together at Christmastime.

But now her blog is coming to an end, as she has only a couple days left of life on this earth.

What I remember especially about her documentary are the paper hugs that one person sent her for her to use at her hospital bed. They were accordian-like and stretched around whoever needed them.

Her name is Eva...

That's so sad.

What made me more sad was that her mother seemed to be relegated to the background, and wasn't in the picture very much at all. I'm sure her mother is suffering just as much as her dad and sister are.

Maybe her mother didn't want to be prominent in the video.
