Photo Stories: The long goodbye: 001

Not wanting Kyla to miss anything because of her cancer treatments, Stephanie arranged for a life size cut out of her daughter to be delivered to her classroom the day of their official class picture while Kyla was in Washington DC for MRIs and an infusion treatment. Kayla Speelman carries the life size cut out of their class photo April 20. “She’s not very heavy,” Kayla said as she as she lifted up the cut out of her friend. Kyla’s classmates fought over who would get to carry her down the hall and stand next to her in the picture.
