It began quietly.
Just small signs — a few unexplained bruises 💜, a nosebleed that wouldn’t stop, and a tiredness that sleep could never fix 😔.

Then came the tests.
And with them, the words that shattered everything:
Carys had leukemia 🏥.

Her childhood changed overnight.
Playgrounds were replaced by hospital rooms.
Days blurred into chemotherapy 💉.
Nights stretched long and heavy beneath fluorescent lights 🌙.
Fear became familiar — but so did courage.

And somehow, through it all, her smile never left 😊🤍.
Even on the hardest days, Carys found a way to shine.

Then came remission ✨ — a breath of hope, a return to life.
Laughter came back.
Normal moments felt like miracles.

But in late 2023, the unthinkable happened 💔.
Cancer returned.

This time, Carys fought with everything she had.
Chemo.
Radiation.
Immunotherapy.
A bone marrow transplant 🩸💪.

Her body endured more than most adults ever will — yet her heart never surrendered.

And now, in 2025, she is back where she belongs.
Back at school 📚✨.
Back among friends.
Back to laughter that fills the room 😄.

Her dreams are still alive 💫.
Her joy is real.
And every single day is a gift she holds with gratitude 🎁🤍.

Carys’ story isn’t just about cancer.
It’s about resilience.
Hope.
And the quiet, powerful strength of a child who refused to give up.
