Pink Saturday - July 9

I would like you to meet Diamond Marshall.

Diamond is 6 years old and lives in Calgary, Canada. In December she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Sarcoma. Since then Diamond has had two life-saving surgeries and has spent nearly a month in intensive care.

Diamond watched the Royal Wedding from her hospital bed. She said her biggest wish was to meet a real princess one day. She wrote the Duchess of Cambridge a note. That's when the

went to work.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Calgary on Thursday.

Diamond ran up to the Duchess and thrust a handmade gift and flowers at her.

And then Diamond ran back to the safety of her stepmother's arms.


The Duchess coaxed her back and after a small chat

they gave each other a hug.

(pass the kleenex please)

Thank you Beverly from How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturdays.

Have a great week. Thank you for visiting.

    I saw this and it was such a beautiful, but sad story. So nice of you to bring it to the attention of anyone that might have missed it. We can only hope and pray for Diamond's recovery.

    I'm glad Diamond got her wish, and Dutchess, though not a real princess, has such a big generous heart to make that happened!
