Cancer patient, 4 “marries” her favorite nurse
And when Matt heard he was ‘the one, ‘ he was all too happy to help make Abby’s dream come true. She’ll get there. Right now, the family’s fight is focused on her acute leukemia. Abby formed a bond with nurse Matt Hickling over the months, and she eventually caught the wedding bug due to her uncle’s recent engagement.
Hickling has worked with 4-year-old Abby Sayles at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Albany Medical Center, where the young girl goes for chemotherapy to treat her leukemia, the Albany Times Union noted.
“We sealed the deal with ring pops being placed on our fingers!”
The four-year-old has a long road ahead of her, but it looks like she’s got a brilliant team around her to help.
She told her mother that she will be marrying Matt. Then the staff and her parents sprung into action with all the details needed.
Abby’s mother walked her down an aisle of pink rose petals that matched her bouquet made of flowers donated by a local florist for the occasion. I’m David Muir. Hope to see you on Monday. After the big moment, the couple retreated to their “Just Married” vehicle, where the groom pushed the bride back to her room so they could enjoy cake (including the traditional smashing of the cake in the groom’s face) and photos.
Hickling wrote on Facebook about the wedding which his new bride says was the “best day ever”. “I know I will!” he posted.
You people are wonderful.
