Dear Journal, today is my sixteenth birthday. While most kids wish for cars or big parties for their Sweet Sixteen, I wish for other things. Wish one: I wish my father were home from serving in Iraq. Wish two: I wish my movie star best guy friend, Jason, could be here with me on my special day. Finally, here is wish number three: I wish that I was cancer free and could be released from the hospital. -Jessa Taylor
