小女孩在与癌症斗争期间与护士成好友

Averie Lazzara, the adorable 6-year-old, has already been through a lot in her short life, but you’d never know it from her easy smile. Eighteen months ago, Averie was pronounced cancer-free after a years-long battle that started when she was just 2 years old.

Averie was a regular visitor to the hospital, where she met a very special nurse named Jamie Rogers. After getting to know one another for a few weeks, they hit it off!

“She is the cutest, most fun little girl you’ll ever meet,” said Jamie. “The first couple weeks she was still getting used to us, but once she did, her personality came through, and she just wanted to play.” Over time, Averie and Jamie became great friends.

Now that she’s in remission(缓解期), Averie still visits the hospital every two months. Recently, her mom shared a school paper that Averie had made. When asked what she wants to be when she’s older, Averie wrote, “mommy and Nurse Jamie.” “It was honestly the biggest compliment ever,” said Jamie. “It just made my whole day.” Mom Stacy Lazzara says that Jamie has been the perfect friend for her daughter throughout her cancer journey.

Jamie truly made what could have been a terrible experience fun for the little girl. She went through many unpleasant tests and procedures, yet when you ask her about those two years, Averie only recalls spending time with the nurse.

“I think what’s especially powerful is that it was not one big thing Jamie did to make a monumental impact(巨大的影响), but rather a million little things,” Stacy said. “She took what could have been a really terrible experience for Averie and found a way to infuse joy into her days. That’s a gift I could never put a value on.”
