Though cancer is life threatening, most children and teens with childhood leukemia can be successfully treated.
Caleigh Simone was very well aware of her condition but she fought strongly amidst the painful chemotherapy.
According to Jackie, "She'll have chemo or surgery, she'll wake up next day, ask me to open the window and tell me to look up and tell how beautiful the sun rises,"
“She'll paint a boat on water and she'll paint the sky pink. I'll tell her, 'No, it's supposed to be blue,' and she'll say, 'No mom, it's pink and orange. Days later, she'll tell me to look out and say, 'See mom? I told you!' She's an angel."
The little girl is now 6 years old and shows no trace of the cancer. She is lively, energetic ans also loves posing for the camera.
