Clock: Little girl with leukemia overjoyed to see her brother after the treatment

I hope you have a few tissue at hand because this video certainly brings tears into your eyes.

Jennifer Clark's daughter Abby fights leukemia and while it is extremely tragic, Clark said that her daughter was a “fighter”.

The video shared by Clark after ABby's treatments is proof of this.

Big Brother is here

Abby can be seen in film material that was recorded by her mother on May 4 in her hospital bed in Katy, Texas. She had just ended her treatment and as part of this treatment, Abby had to be isolated for nine days.

A few seconds later, Abby's brother entered the room and said: “I'm here!” Abby can listen to the air and call her brother.

Abby then stretched out her arms and told her brother that he should “come here” to have a hug.

What you say:

Clark told the story that Abby, despite the “brutal experience” with blood cancer, inspires us every day as she takes with her head. “
