Lily Field is a filly with cancer, so to cheer her up, Pinkie takes her for a fun trip to the carnival and it's the last thing Lily is able to do before she dies from her cancer two days later. This completely destroys Pinkie and she even speaks at the little filly's funeral.
Also in memory of several people I know who have died of cancer, although not children, but still. This book in memory of Knox and Ginger Chamblin, Ellen Martin and Kathleen Sanders. All amazing people who were taken too soon due to cancer.

Why? Explain. Elaborate. Please.

Cancer's a delicate subject, and it can't just be told about and dealt with in chapters of 500 words or less. You gotta understand, Cancer effects the lives of everyone who knows the person who has the damn thing, and the recipient itself. I'm sorry to say, but this story's already failed the moment you wrote your very first chapter.

Youve said that. Were they close, did you cry? Im not attacking your thoughts, just wanna know if their death inspired you to find the cure for cancer, or if their death gave you an idea to write a short book. What happened. I know many close people that have fallen victim to cancer, and the odds are, genetically, that I will get cancer too. It is a very big thing in my life, is it in yours?

Yes. I was close with all three of them. The Chamblains were family friends and Mrs. Sanders was my resource teacher in upper el.
8536217
Yes I cried when they all passed away.

Well, it seems we have something in common. I respect you, sir, sorry to seem rude, blunt or offensive in any way. Its just touchy for me and appreciate what you have written. My condolances and respect goes out to you and those who knew your friends.

They've been dead for nearly five years but I still can't help but think about them, ya know? They're not the only ones either, a few years back, Mrs. Ellen also died from cancer.
Why isn't there a tragedy tag?

Just added it.

Yeah, my most recent family was about half a year ago. My feelings for it are kinda bittersweet, seeing as I beleve in another world after we pass beyond this sphere. Heaven, hell, valhalla, equestrea. Be it as it may, I hope someday I see him again.

I believe in heaven too, so I know that's where they all are.

😊
A difficult subject bravely handled.
This should help raise awareness and provide support to those going through difficult times.
Well done.

Thank you so much. Your approval means a lot to me since the other comments here have been so negative.

The loss of any child is a tragedy, and cancer is indiscriminate. Lily was a beautiful and happy filly who was a joy to her parents and friends, and you have expressed their emotions with courage.
Loss and fear of loss can elicit a negative response as those involved struggle to come to terms with it. Please don’t be disheartened because some readers aren’t ready to embrace this story; there may come a day when they need it more than ever.
We are all better for having Lily touch our lives.
Oh god..... ;-; poor little filly...
Tell me about it. I know how it feel to have cancer. (Don't ask)... Wait a minute, are we talking about cancer or how fast the story goes?
