She had one wish. One wish as a girl who would die within the next year. They actually had a date. She would die around the 4th of July. Such a great Independence Day present for her and her single dad. Life was hard for him. Her mom died of cancer when she was eight years old. Now, she was a terminally ill patient with cancer, too. Her dad would be crushed. He'd wake up one morning and find her dead. She hated to think about it. Her name was Annika Pearson. Most people called her Anni. This was her wish.
