Somaya, 2, daughter of Staff Sgt. Chantel Thibeaux, Joint Base-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, dental assistant instructor, stands on the couch while her mother and grandmother Carla watch her drink water. At two years old, Somaya is unaware of her mothers battle with cancer and tried to play with her every chance she can, but is limited to certain activities. About 15 family and friends gathered at her house to celebrate a successful surgery and provide love to Thibeaux during her quest to defeat cancer.
