A Cape Breton couple who recently lost their 12-year-old daughter to cancer wants to share her story of inspiration with others. | SaltWire
Jeff Wadden takes a moment to look at the picture of his late daughter Molly that graces the front cover of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation’s Because You Care Catalogue. Molly was 12-years-old when she passed away in July after a brave fight with bone cancer. DAVID JALA/CAPE BRETON POST - David JalaSYDNEY, N.S.
“She really would be incredibly proud if she was here today. She would have loved being here and talking about this catalogue and the differences that the gifts in it can make for people. All she really wanted to do was to make a difference. Her life was short but she wanted to make it mean something. And she’s doing that now.”
“During Molly’s fight, we were personally impacted and helped with everything from travel to hotels to toys and books and crafts. It made all the difference. We were even given a superhero quilt by Caleb’s Courage which we will always cherish. Molly may be gone, but she will always live on symbolically through the quilt.”
The Wadden family is shown at Disney World earlier this year. Molly pretends to lift the animated mule animal while the others look on in mock surprise.
