Life can be both beautiful and heartbreaking, as shown in the story of 18-year-old Brianna Rawlings. At 17 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive blood cancer—NK cell leukemia.

Despite her immense loss, she vowed to fight on in his honor.For a while, hope returned—her condition improved, and a bone marrow transplant was planned.
