  • wow that was beautiful... you sing with so much compassion..just like melissa etheridge does when she sings about how she had cancer... keep singing...God has blessed you with a beautiful voice...

  • awesome singing. powerful song.. i lost my mom to breast cancer on august 17th 2001...and even though its been 9 years the hurt of losing her will always be there.. when she died a part of me did also, but my faith has kept me going... without God i wouldnt have made it this far...and even though no one will ever replace my real mom God brought someone into my life almost 3 years ago who is like a mom to me..i will never forget my mom... i miss you mom...

  • I CAN NOT absolutely CAN NOTwatch this video and listen to this song without getting all emotional. I`ll never forget the circumstances it was written under or the comradery I felt with you when you posted it. Thank you Racheal for such a beautifull heartfelt song and performace I know how much it hurt.

    I want you to know I havent forgotten you even though I havent been around for a year or so.

    I wish you and your family an abundance of blessings.

    I love you and miss you dear friend.

  • A very cool and powerful song. I was diagnosed with cancer last May.

  • Awesome!

  • Rachael, I think it's the "going on" that's the hardest. But once you realize you can, well, there's strength in that. And reaching out to others like you have done with this song is healing for everyone.  Thank you.

    Cathy

  • Thank you so much Cathy, I am so pleased, honored, and touched you added your video to this one! xoxoxoxo

    thanks for share with us

  • Incredible! peace2u

  • What a beautiful song. Incredible

  • Wonderful!!!

  • that is a fantastic song, the words are so deep, and i really felt it. it's such a shame that people have to go through breast cancer, or any cancer for that matter, i have lost a few good friends to cancer, but you would never have known they were so brave, and lived every day to the max. crying now :(

  • Thanks Rachael, for your friend add. You are great musician with a powerful singing voice!!

    God bless you!!!

  • Tears stream down my face Racheal.

  • LOL Whats funny about this song? Nothing..........,Ive listened to this song I know a hundred times and NOT ONCE have I not cried.This song brings me to tears each and every time.What a beautifull song.

  • Thanks for a song that says so much. I was with my wife through her journey with cancer and she had the same thoughts (as did I and I wasnt the 1 going through the appointments and treatments.)It took me a few listens as I couldnt make it thru the 1st time. But every day I have experiences such as this gives me strength and a greater passion for doing Leah proud. Little baby steps at this stage but I think today could be a big day as you have filled me full of inspiration. Thanks and god bless

  • Beautiful!

  • It's weird how something as tragic as cancer, can inspire you to write something so beautiful. They do say that tortured souls are the best song-writers! I am really impressed with your songs! 5-STARS/SUB'D/IN MY FAVOURITES!

    I love to hear songs that touch you're heart all the way through.

  • that was so beautiful!

    it really touched me,

  • That was beautiful Rachael you've got such a lovely voice and i hope u keep up writing and posting love watching your videos! truly talented x

  • I remember driving down to Florida once, and for a stretch of windshield hypnosis - I thought about my dad - I had just become a father myself - I was thinking about that inevitable day - and how I might eulogize him - now 20 some odd yrs later - he's still with us - wear n tear as we all go - now my girls are 26 and 18, &I'm living with the C from a transfusion way back when - life yet, seems more distinct - colorful - bright - & meaningful - with a lesson I believe was intended all along. ;=]

  • OMG the lessons. I love them and hate them. They are such an enormous thing to get through sometimes. As I grow in this life, I learn to accept the difficult things, for just what they are, a lesson to learn from. So I explore them rather than run from them. The more I keep my head high, with a smile on my face, the more I focus my eye to the task, the more I am rewarded in the end, with at least some new understanding or tool to live with, if nothing else. :).

  • Such powerful stories you all are sharing wiht me, thank you so much. Joan, thank you for posting your video response, Monster, It is such an inspriring video, your words are so strong.

  • that was great , I have breats cancer and I am 3 years out now of my fight , lost my hair but it;s back so is my life

  • Great job, very well done! You are very talented and you should be so proud of that. I lost my mom to breast cancer last year, 4/17/07, and it has been a loooong hard road for me without her :( Thanks so much for this beautiful song and for making me think of her and smile. She was very strong in her battle and was a shining example to her 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren. Thanks again, and I know the studio version will be great!

  • Wow. This video is so powerful! You are amazing! Thank you!!!!

    Joanie

  • Thanks you all, I am going to studio to record this song today. Wish me good voice!

  • you will,because you can..

  • Wow! The passion in your voice completely brings out the poignant agonies someone receiving the unhappy news must be feeling.***** Glad Melissa made it...

    Regular check-ups is a very good habit to never take for granted...

    Oh and thank you for accidentally stumbling into my place today... :^)

  • Really deep Rachel, received me to the heart. Awesome! 5 stars.

  • I came back for another listen, and I'm glad to see this song is growing in popularity.

  • great video

  • Awesome video!

    My father passed in 2006 with lung cancer...one of the hardest things that I've been through so far.

    Several of my friends have had breast cancer and have beat the odds.

    My cousin just found out 2 weeks ago that she has it.

    I have joined a team this year in the Relay for Life and I'm so excited about it.If I can only help one person....that's just what I will do!

    Thanks for posting this wonderful song!

  • Thank you for letting me know that it meant something to you, and for sharing your stories. :)

  • You have such a beautiful, strong, emotional voice and so much talent. What a beautiful song and gift to any woman's heart, from one sister to another. God Bless you. You and your gifts are certainly a blessing to share with us. ~Love~Cgee

  • By the way, I was healed of breast cancer 7 years ago. I went through it all, without health insurance, letting God carry me through it. For anyone who needs encouragement, it's not necessarily a death sentence to face. Have faith and believe! As one beautiful messenger of a lady who had been through it all said to me, "Gifts can appear through a tangle with dragons". *Love and Light*

  • I am very happy to hear you are healed, hugs to you for sharing your story, words of encouragement are most welcome here. :)

  • Thank you for that enduring timeless message!

    Our prayers go out to you!

  • i have replayed this several times today and i find a deeper love for this song and performance, each and every time...the angel within you shines brightly as you spread this love to the world. many of us have had to face this issue and non of us could have reacted in the way you have... what a truly wonderful gift you have and it is just as wonderful that you have chosen to share it with the world... for those too shy or, to moved speak their mind in your comments, i thank you...

  • I wrote this song because I just had to get it out of me. The interview I saw of Melissa just got me thinking, and the song would not go away.

    I posted it here, to possibly open up discussions amongst families, hoping to encourage people to share their feelings and become closer.

    Some people have written to me that they have done just that, and it has made all the tears I cried, worthwhile.

    In fact, the response has been healing for me.

    Thanks to all of you, for sharing with me.

  • amazin.... truly heart felt thanks for writing this song!!

  • to say that this song has moved me is an understatement. your playing and singing are wonderful and this video shows a deep love of them, as well as, for all the things in your life. i shared this video with all my contacts and i know they will be doing as i will in sending you love energy. love will overcome all that is not love. i believe that you know this and that is why you struggled so in writing this. you know that we live in a time where all things are possible. we write our own future.

  • Stay strong, be at peace, doctors have been known to be wrong many times...believe in your own ability and live every day to its fullest and may you have many days...

  • As always WOW!! I love this song.  I know cancer is a beast. I lost my father to a brain tumor back in 2002, and was the one who found him that morning. I hope all is well as can be.

  • Awesome song Rachael!!! 5 stars!

  • This girl really feels the music ! It's so emotional! Nice voice !

  • Wonderful talent.
