I remember the first day I met Chelsey in elementary school; I admired her outgoing and friendly personality. Now I see her fighting for her little girl’s life and I admire her strength and her love. Lilee, now two years old, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer before she was even one. Needless to say, it’s been a battle, one that has been fought with rounds of chemo, surgeries, prayers, and the outpouring of love from many. Love for Lilee was set up as a community of support and means of fundraising for Lilee and her family, one that you can find on Facebook as well. It’s grown to over 3,000 followers and has served as a source of comfort, cookies, and even a family trip to Hawaii next week. Like Chelsey said, their goal now is to build as many memories as they can, enough to fill a lifetime. They’ve reached the point where there is nothing left to do but love on this little girl, a typical toddler with so much personality and love and life…how special it was to have these two in front of my camera… Thank you, Chelsey and Lilee, for the fun and the smiles…praying for you.
