Friendship and Cancer

I was just flipping through some pictures one of my favorite websites (www.people.com) and found this picture of Kelly Pickler:

Kelly Pickler with a shaved head? YEP! 
Why did she shave her head?!
Did she have a Britney Spears moment?
NOPE.
She did it to support her best childhood friend, who is battling cancer.

This really hit me and made me thankful for all the great friends I have in my life!

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis

On another note...
CANCER SUCKS!
In the past year, I have personally known three families that are affected by it.
Sometimes, all you can ask is WHY?!

Have you guys heard the new Taylor Swift song titled "Ronan"?
Katie shared it with me.
Taylor wrote it for a mom who lost her young son to cancer.
Taylor read her story, met her, and wrote her this song.

Here's a video of Taylor Swift performing it:

Here's the lyrics:
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, from even that moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guyRemember I leaned in and whispered to you

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember the drive home when the
blind hopeTurned to crying and screaming, "Why?"Flowers piled up in the worst way
No one knows what to say
about a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still hereI remember the last day when I kissed your face
I whispered in your ear

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital
We'll just disappear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back.


Much Love,

Sara
