I'm completely torn on this whole situation:
On one hand, the girl is dying and will probably never have the chance for a wedding as an adult with her true love, but at the same time, what about the boy? Is this acknowledged as a true and lawful marriage? What happens when the girl dies? And how much of this was the little girl's wish and how much of this was her parent's wish? Do we really know that this is what the little girl wanted as her last dying wish? And if it is acknowledged as a lawful marriage, will the little boy be a widower when his wife dies at the age of nine? And what about what he wants? How much of this was his decision and how much of it was his parents? Is it moral/ethical to marry your children off when they can barely comprehend what marriage is at their age? Granted one of them is dying, but does that make it right?
I don't know. It's not my place to judge or say what one should do when their child's death is imminent, but what if, by some miracle, she lives? Then what?
Again, I just don't know. If this was truly what the little girl wanted to happen before she died then I'm glad she got her wish, but from the video shown, the little boy, Jose, doesn't look very comfortable or happy. His mother says "he knows what is happening", but from Jose's expression and demeanor it doesn't seem like he does.
This is truly just a tragic story and makes me realize how lucky I am to have the life and health that I have. I just hope that this wedding doesn't do more harm then good and I hope that it wasn't forced upon the children because the parents wished it more then the children did.
Goddess bless Jayla and Jose and I hope that this symbolic marriage, if that is truly what it was, was a happy time for them, and if Jayla does pass on within the next month, I hope that her last moments on this Earth were the happiest of her life.
Sheesh. I'm about to go all sentimental and cry (and I'm not a crier). It just goes to show that life should NEVER be taken for granted.
