I drove to Austin, Texas yesterday to pick my 10 year old daughter up from camp. On the drive, my choice of radio was country and western. I heard a really terrific song that everyone should hear (Tough by Craig Morgan),
She’s in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon’s on, coffee’s strong
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
If she’s a nervous wreck, well it never shows
Takes one to football and one to dance
Hits the Y for aerobics class
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
The last to go to bed, she’ll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough
Chorus:
She’s strong, pushes on, can’t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
Next Verse:
We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know the tests showed
She’d have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it’s gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high, singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough
Of course, I was crying like a baby. I had not seen my daughter for 2 weeks and everything makes me cry due to the unbalanced hormones, compliments of chemotherapy. I was really surprised to hear a song on mainstream radio that deals with cancer. It is a testament to how many women are suffering.

Thanks for your support -
yes I heard the same song. And yes it made me cry.
But it spreads the word that we are in the biggest fight of our lives.

I have never heard that before. Thanks for sharing. ;-)
Oh, I cried all through it also. I love that song. I had not heard it before but I will have to get a copy of it. It is a true testimony if I ever heard one. Love and hugs, Joyce
