The Story of 9 Year Old Bride Jayla Cooper
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009
The wedding took place on Sunday, February 22, 2009 and it fulfilled her dream. 9 year old Jayla Cooper married 7 year old Jose Griggs in a holy matrimony to become husband and wife. And no, this is not a story from Middle East, this stiry is from Texas. And no, Jayla Cooper did not become a 9 Year Old Bride because of some weird religious rites.
When Jayla Cooper was 7 year old, she was diagnosed with leukemia. By now, according to her doctors, she’s reached the end of her journey on Earth and could be called up to the higher grounds anytime. Since her dreadful diagnosis, Jayla Cooper has barely spent any time at home. It was during her 2 years stay at the Children’s Medical Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders in Dallas, Texas when she met Jose Griggs, another leukemia patient. The two are now husband and wife, as per wish of Jayla Cooper, the 9 Year Old Bride. This wish is likely one of very last wishes in her life. And it has been fulfilled.
7 Year Old Groom Jose Griggs is having a tought time dealing with this. He himself is a recovering leukemia patient who’s developed strong feelings for Jayla Cooper over last two years. He doesn’t want to see her go. Leukemia is a bad disease
