You Owe Me That Chick JoAnn Smith

March 1, 2007, my daughter Julianna was diagnosed with leukemia. She was 8 years old at the time. The moment when the hematologist uttered those words will forever be ingrained in my mind. The picture of us all sitting around the conference room table is crystal clear, the pause the hematologist took after he gave us the diagnosis?knowing we would have a reaction. I immediately began to sob. My husband, Brian, wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on mine. The social worker then wrote down the ensuing conversation, knowing that we would not be able to really listen to much else after hearing the words ?leukemia? and ?cancer? in reference to our child. When your child receives a diagnosis that is described as ?life threatening,? you expect to exist under the constant weight of an unbearable emotion. What actually happened, as this journey unfolded, is that inspiration, beauty, generosity, and, yes, humor, abounded. You Owe Me That Chick tells the story of Julianna?s journey, and in that story, you find love and hope as you meet a community that reacted in beautiful ways, and you learn about organizations serving children in amazing ways.
