What would happen if your normal life was suddenly turned upside down and inside out? What if one day something happened that made you want to shake your fists at the heavens and shout, “Why God, why!”
That is what happened to the Gabelman family when fourteen year old Kelly, a vivacious, energetic, and popular freshman in high school was suddenly struck down by every parents' worst nightmare, cancer.
Instead of school and church gatherings, high school sporting events, dances and sleepovers, Kelly was suddenly thrust into a world of hospital stays, chemotherapy and radiation.
Not exactly how a young girl is supposed to enjoy her teenage years.
Kelly's brothers and sister were now faced with the fear of knowing that their sister was going to be facing this future.
Not exactly the childhood that had been planned for any of the Gabelman children.
As parents, would you find yourself longing for the days when your kids threw tantrums or got grounded for staying out too late? Kelly's parents longed for those days.
Would you wonder if you had the strength to get yourself, your child and your family through the ordeal that you knew was about to happen? Kelly's parents wondered.
Would you worry that while taking care of a sick child you might not be able to be the parent you needed to be to your other children? Kelly's parents worried.
This is the ultimate love story about how faith, family and friends helped the Gabelman family face all of these obstacles and more.
