Jayla Cooper Becomes 9-Year-Old Bride Weeks Before Possible Death
Jayla Cooper became a 9-year-old-bride because it is one of the last things she can do while alive. Jayla Cooper has been living with leukemia for two years, and is about to lose that fight. Cooper’s childhood leukemia is expected to finally claim her life within two weeks. To mark her final weeks on Earth, Jayla Cooper became the 9-year-old-bride of a fellow leukemia patient and friend, 7-year-old Jose Griggs. The two children were married on Sunday, vowing to be “friends forever.” Cooper and Griggs met while being treated at the Children’s Medical Hospital in Dallas. The young husband and wife celebrated their union at the Great Wolf Lodge water park in Grapevine, Texas. A home video was released of Jayla being walked down the aisle by her father, Jerrod Cooper. Jayla told Dallas’s CBS 11 news that she had fun dancing with him, her “granny” and her husband. Unlike Jayla Cooper, Jose Griggs is on the road to recovery from his leukemia.
