Annika.
Annika, I wish for you what I wish for my son. I wish for you to outlive your parents. I wish for your parents to be at your 60th birthday party. I wish for your life to be happy and easy from here on out.
God knows, you've been through enough.
I wish for you to have a lovely prom dress and a handsome prom date. (I'd wish for Muffin Man to be your handsome prom date, but that's geographically infeasible)
I wish for you to have a goofball freshman year in college and then buckle down and get to work.
I wish for you to kiss the toes of your own little baby.
Big hugs and kisses to you, Annika. Get healthy. Stay stubborn.

I second that; very well said.

What the others said - a wonderfully moving and poignant post, Liz. I wish all those wonderful things for Annika. My heart goes out to Moreena, Annika and the rest of their family.
Beautiful, Liz. Just beautiful.
I wish the same. Thank you for putting beautifully into words what we all are feeling for Annika and Moreena and their family.

Me too.
