Savannah





Everyday I want to write something, anything, but nothing happens. After being without Jed for 13 months I wanted to write how it gets better but I can't say that. Sometimes it seems to get worse. A lot worse. The sadness is so overwhelming it hurts. Today is February 18, 2011.. The first day of THON. Savannah is dancing again. She danced last year also. Out of all the misery a bright star was born. Savannah is what makes our house live. Life is funny. Like they say, for every action there is a reaction. Savannah is quite the reaction. Her abilities always amaze me. Her thirst for life is a beautiful thing to watch. How she took her brothers cancer, and decided that she was going to do what she could to help fight this hideous disease, is in its self a feat to be admired. She was just a little girl when all of this started. I am so proud of Savannah. I know that it has not been an easy road for her. What she has had to live through this last year and a half is something no one should have to endure. Losing her brother and then a beautiful friend, both to cancer, is unthinkable. I know how I feel everyday and can only imagine how see feels. Knowing everything that she has been through and seeing where she is today just blows me away. I love her very much.. I'm not afraid ,I was born to do this. That is Savannah.
