Kyah has ended her battle with Neuroblastoma with her mum and dad there by her side. This girl has been such an amazing inspiration to many all over the country, and to know that she is no longer in pain is a relief. My thoughts and prayers go out to Shanell, Jason and the boys, and to all the Christian and Milne family. I can't believe how much this little girl has affected me, and I am so thankful for being able to read through her journey. She has done more in her tiny life and any of us could imagine. RIP baby girl, we know that you will be watching over your family...with your beloved giraffe....doing it your way. -------------

It's just so unfair, these parents loved their daughter to bits. And then there are the cases out there like Nia.
I am relieved Kyah has passed and is free of her pain and I am also relieved her family can begin the mourning process and start to move on with life, which is what Jason had posted a week or so ago. They are an amazing family and their strength has been incredible. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was just reading the journey a wee while ago hoping that it would end soon for her. Doesn't make it any easier for the family though huh.
Rest in peace gorgeous wee girl

Words fail me , so as usual I'll let the words of a song do my talking .
RIP you incredible ,brave , amazing little girl FLY Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forget Fly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Go now, find the light -------------

It is amazing how many people Kyah has affected and she will never know. I sat for hours with livejournal open trying to think of a comment to write, but seriously, what can you say to parents who have just lost their little girl?
Rest in peace Kyah

I know...the mind does boggle sometimes @ Nia comment. Her journey has touched me in so many ways. It's all too easy to forget that their are children, parents, families out there in our communities who are affected by cancer everyday. Kyah. Shanell, Jason, and the boys have taught me never to take things for granted. They say that 1 in every 3 people is affected by cancer in some way...that's high odds isn't it? My aunty had breast cancer a few years ago, and my uncle had prostate cancer a few years ago as well. They are both in remission and are doing extremely well. Learning about how much of a part Child Cancer Foundation and Ronald McDonald house played in the Christian-Milne family has made me want to do my bit to help out. So now I've signed up for the Molenberg SubSeries 5Km run in March 2009, in the hope to raise money for my first charity CCF.... I already have one donation! Thank you Kathyand bub 
http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/EveArnold - http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/EveArnold I think as I find more events I want to take part in I'll fundraise for a charity each time. It's just a little thing that I can do to raise awareness. -------------

R.I.P wee Kyah you have touched many lives, now you can be free.
Her journey has touched me too Eva I've volunteered to collect for CCF and will be giving blood next week. Its only little things I only wish I could do more.

I feel so honoured that her parents chose to shre their journey with us all, and I hope one day they feel amazed that their wee girl - although here so short a time - touched people around the country - made me much more aware of the plight of cancer families and more appreciative of my own children.

She really made the world a better place by making us all stop and be grateful for what we have. I have been so touched by her story and vow to hug Tom more!
I now know what charities to support. |

I can't believe how many tears I have shed for someone I never even met! Kyah and her family sound like such amazing people. No parents should ever have to bury their child. I have so much more patience with Mikayla now, when she's acting up, I think about Kyah and how we need to appreciate what we've got, how quickly it can be taken away.
Run & play sweet Kyah! Be free ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Youve touched so many hearts Kyah, rest in peace. -------------

One of the ladies of trademe is wanting to get photos from all the B&Bs to put together a book for Shanell and the family which is an awesome idea. -------------
