Sweet little girl, get your tissues out. This has been on our local news in Houston.

Her dying wish was to get married. Suffering from Lukemia, her battle will probably end within weeks, so her family decided to give her what she wanted most. A wedding.

I cannot imagine being in that position ever. It's amazing how the family came together so quickly to give this little girl her dream. It must have been unbearable for her father to walk her down the isle.

I am balling my eyes out..... That is one of the most wonderful things I have seen in a long time.

When a parent loses a child that is one of the things most often expressed as something they wished they could have seen. I am so glad that they were able to do this for her.

Wow that was really heartbreaking... and heartwarming at the same time. Wonderful that the parents were the ones that could provide her with her biggest wish.
