I'm reposting this blog from Peggie Hoskins. Sophia Langford is the inspiration for The Hopeful Princess CD; a read-along story about children who fight the bad dragon of cancer (available at www.indiemusicforlife.org). She may have lost the physical battle, but Sophia's spirit will prevail in those whose lives she touched!

SOPHIA WILL BE GAINING HER ANGEL WINGS

I have found out today that we are going to lose our dear sweet little baby girl Sophia. She has fought a long 2 yr battle with brain cancer. She has dealt with more at age 2 than most of use will deal with in a lifetime. She is the strongest and bravest little girl I know. I am blinded by tears as I type this. I am lost. I don't know what to say. I am lost. I was hoping and praying for a miracle. Making daily wishes for mercy upon this child.  I am devasted.

Sophia is the daughter of my long time friend and musician Wayne Langford. I can not even fathom what he & Shirley and the rest of the family must be feeling at this moment. Please pray for all of us for strength and for mercy as Sophia lives out the rest of her life. Please pray for her family as they face this devastation. I pray that God will have mercy and spare her as much pain as possible. She has been given several weeks/months to live at the most.

Thank you all who have followed Sophia's journey and have loved her. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes. On behalf of her family.....simply...THANK YOU.  I believe we can all agree that our lives will never be the same without her and those of us who have been blessed to know her will be forever grateful for the time that we did have with her. Sophia we love you and will never forget you.
