I would love you to take a look at the video for the song i wrote for my Sister. every penny raised from the sales of this song will go to Breast cancer charitys. Richard Green - Running through New York.
i know how it feels to lose someone from breast cancer. my aunt suffered from it for 5 years. she ended up dying the day of my high school graduation which was just this past may. this was supposed to be a really happy day for me but i came home after graduation to my mom telling me she passes away. all my life i was very close to her.closer than i was with all of my other aunts. i think that was why i took the news so hard. I LOVE YOU AUNT KATHIE!!! RIP
my mom fought breast cancer for 5 years.she said the hardest part was telling 2 six year olds mom wood have to take yucky medicene called chemo.i was 11 when cancer took over her body.i am now 12.she was so young.i love you mom.
Wow, I feel so lucky to be getting to know you. You're heart is SO HUGE! So many people here, sending you love, just for opening up to them on a video. I am in awe of your willingness to show your authenticity to the world.
My Mom's cancer started with Breast cancer too. Sometimes I think she reincarnated as our daughter.
I was gonna write God Bless You Rach, but I know it's already happened!
As we make our way,there comes that time when a loved one passes on to be closer to our maker God,myself I cry not only for my lost loved ones but for those who can not shed a tear,doing it almost every day and "In the end we will All be together",God Bless you Rachel!!!Jack
hi my name is larry and my dad die of cancer he had T.B i was like 11 when he die i love your song i would like to play it on my guitar your areally good at playing guitar and i hope to get it to thanks for the song
oh my darling friend Rachael ..your such a beautiful person . I know what that pain feels like .. I think a lot of us do .. wanna give you a great big hug xx
I believe one of the greatest gifts any person can give to another, is the gift of sharing one's feelings and emotions. Thank you for having the courage to share. You've helped to make the world a better place. Peace and good luck.
i just saw a video on breast cancer and i was blown away when your song was a part of it... then i come to your channel (sorry it has been a while) and went to this video... i see that you were seeing this video, as i saw it, the first time... my comments from then, were written through the tiers that flowed from my heart... i am so very glad that we have this outlet, to experience the things that touch the heart of the world... and yes, the spiritual side of life is just a reach away...
Wana kno Y?!! Cos from all Ive seen of you on here Rachael, you're obviously a beautiful, incredibly gifted, intune, creative soul with a caring, openheart & this allows you the expression as well as the reception to pick up your Dad! Call me crazy BUT I BELIEVE that!
We are ALL connected. NOT just us on earth! I know this to be true thru my own experiences & really thats all that matters! Its the KNOWING inside o you that is so welcomingly warm that gives u inner peace & sense of being loved.
Thank you for the gift of letting me know. You truly impress me with your response, :) Its nice to meet you, by the way, 111 is my favorite number~! :)
"All is as it should be". The best way I can put it; as it is what I believe despite occasional evidence to the contrary - and has never failed to maintain the inner peace.
I now know what it's like tobe so colse to death and seeing my life go by me as I sit in my bath tub with no hair and I live a lone and just going over my life , what hurt the most was the ppl who love and how if I did not win my fight but I have so fare , how they would be in pain , =^..^=
well well well, i thought i was already subbed to you, but guess i wasnt, but am now! thank you for sharing such personal feelings! sending ya hugs and love-kathy
Thank you Rachael for sharing this. I share the same feelings. Lost my dad to cancer. But, it "always" feels like he's only a phone call away. And I still hear his thoughts and wisdom during times of need. "Who" he "was," still "is!" Blessings to you lady!
Hi, Rachael. I'm sorry your dad isn't here in flesh where it's easier to feel a warm hug. I'm certain that heaven isn't a far away place and through some personal experiences I have discovered (though I still forget sometimes) that when you think of your loved one, close your eyes and imagine giving them a big hug with all your heart, they feel it. I don't dought any of your heartfelt sharing here. Trust your heart and senses. You are beautiful. God Bless, Love and Light~Cgee~
My dad died alone in a hospital from metastatic cancer 33 years ago and I still take comfort from the fact his spirit visited me in a dream to say one last goodbye and thanks at his moment of death, when my mom came to tell me I was already crying like you-I knew before she did over the phone, in my twilight sleep.The departed are immortal not only in the spirit world, but also in our loving hearts. Take care- read Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer it might help a little. Bless you -and everyone else.
thank you for sharing the 'behind the scenes'. your raw emotion really adds an extra impact to the song. thanks for sharing. It's not always easy to share such deep feelings with everyone. Susan
Oh Rachael Rachael I am back to give you a hug and tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me even if I did just meet you.. but I love you very much! <3
i had risk of cancer one time.. i started to think in all the things i wanted to do before i die.. i started to say goodbye to the ones who loved me the most.. fortunately it was no cancer.. =) Please rachel dont cry.. you are beautifull... i cry when you cry.. really =).. telling your story, its soooooo dificult, but you are tooo brave.. thanks a lot for posting and share n_n
I am so very touched Racheal.I lost my brother to lukemia, my father to lung cancer,my uncle to brain cancer,and I chain smoke as long as Im awake so go figure.Even my dog died a year and a half ago from cancerous tumors all around his little organs.
I was raised in a christian home and I am very aware that this is not the whole of it.Jesus christ died for our sins and we shall live because of that.I know in my heart its called faith.Thats simply my feelings Im pushing them on no one.Love 2 U
I've lost Five people in my family to cancer. I sang at my grandmother's funeral, and at the end of the song, I could almost feel her presence. Thank You so much for sharing.
Many times when I've needed strength, I've felt my grandmother with me. It started before her body died, but while she was lost to senile dementia. Since my mom and dad have gone, I've also felt them with me a number of times. It helps. I don't particularly believe in an after life, but do believe that they are in my heart and a permanent part of who I am now, who my siblings and our offspring, and their offspring are. They'll never be gone.
My heart is with you Rach, you produced something very meaningful to so many people, and if music is not emotion then what is? You are changing the world theough creativity and honest sharing of experience and I salute you for that. The pain of loss is as much a part of life as the joy of gain and I know that your father lives on in many ways but most especially through your beautiful daughter. Peace. Mel
Last year I lost someone very close to me after his 5 year battle with cancer. I still feel him. When you love someone so much, they just remain a part of you forever. Not even death can break some bonds. God Bless you.
Thanks for sharein Rachael' It's nice that you let us feel you too'... I felt the song was special.. and I know what it's like to see your work through other's eye's... and also to feel that you've been guided somehow'
I have lost many in my lifetime. I can remember my Mother talking about her Mother and how it seemed like it had all been a dream. I understand what she was feeling now. Oh, but what a wonderful dream it was. I know I will see my loved ones again.
Rach.. Ken is & always will be around you ,with you.. He`s in the wind, & your memories.. This is a VERY heartfelt video darlin.. As a father I know he is so proud of you..
I am reading ALL of your notes, and so is everyone else, so I don't wish to cover your words, with my responses, I am leaving this as a sharing forum. :)
Hugs to you all for writing, I feel everything you are saying. I think you know that already! ((hugs))
And yes, the name or type cancer, just does not matter.
Thank you thank you thank you! This is what is real. That we are loved and we love our loved ones and there is something much greater than us that connects and binds us and helps us to stay connected even beyond our life here.
Right at the beginning of your vid I already felt the presence of your Dad! I experience the same about loosing someone of death, my own George went 5th of March 2 years ago at the age of 49, and suddenly his energy can be here around me. That's the reason I feel strong and can move on in the positive way of living! Take care, I am proud of you to show your feelings here! And I think your father is too!
Rachael, I feel your loss also. I lost my father eighteen years ago, and at that instant the bottom fell out. But now I don't feel he's "around" me quite as much as he IS me. Sometimes I think, what would he think or feel or do now, and the answer is right there inside me almost instantly. Not so much that we're looking at each other, but that we're looking at the same things, but through the very same eyes that he gave to me. Thank you for sharing your song and your feelings.
I know my son is always with me wherever I am....I feel him around in so many ways, and I know that my parents are taking care of him for me. We have to have faith...
This song has touched countless numbers of people and will continue to do so. It is by far the most moving and beautiful video i have ever seen on youtube and you should be sooo proud! I know your dad is.
It is a comforting thought to know there are still people as kind , genuine and compassionate as yourself on the planet. A very touching message yet it is a harsh reality. I hope you are well.-Duncan.
