Mary Pat Siess has spent ten and a half years of her life fighting an aggressive form of Leukemia, which is why she jumped at the chance to make a birthday cake for a special new client who had also been diagnosed with cancer at just 6-years-old.
Despite fighting her own cancer for nearly half of her own life, Mary Pat managed to graduate from college and hold down a job at a local bakery. She knows firsthand what it’s like to fight such an aggressive disease, and even though she has spent the last six years and is still currently fighting her latest relapse, Mary Pat wanted to ensure the sick little girl was able to have the birthday party- and cake- of her dreams on such a special day.
However, while Mary Pat got to work on the special six-year-old’s cake, her family got to work on pulling off an even bigger surprise.
When the moment came for the birthday cake to get picked up by the little girl, Mary Pat was stunned to see her brother Robert, a Fort Bragg paratrooper who’s about to be deployed to Afghanistan, walk through the door with tickets for the whole family to go on a trip to Disney World.
“She’s probably the strongest person I’ve met in my life,” Robert said about Mary Pat, who was completely shocked by her family’s surprise. “About time we did something for her.”
Watch the entire video below to see Mary Pat’s heartwarming reaction to seeing her brother walk through the door.
