Special Girls

We will start this post off with a video. Or shall I say a link to a video. A link to a video done by a very, very, very, very special friend of mine.

This is kind of a two part post. First, let me tell you about Holly. Holly is the girl is the video. I started following her videos on Youtube a while back. She is an amazing country singer with so much potential that I'm certain that she'll be performing all over the country someday. She's a sweet, sweet girl who cares about others wholeheartedly. She's been so sweet to me and I've tried to support her in anyway I can. I love her a lot. If you like her videos, check out http://jennifernettlesnumb1fan.tumblr.com/ or http://hollylawsonfan.webs.com/. She is selling a cover CD for $8 if anyone is interested.
Anyways, she's quite a spectacular girl.

Now, onto the point of that video up there. I asked Holly to do a video for 10 year old Ansley a while ago. Ansley was diagnosed with a form of lung cancer at the beginning of this month. Ansley has been following Holly's videos with me for a while so I knew it'd mean the world to her if Holly would do a song for her on her Youtube account. When I was chatting with Holly one day I asked her if she would do it. A few days later, the video was up on Youtube. She even was kind enough to do Ansley's favorite song. I couldn't believe it for a while. This is a little girl Holly hadn't even heard of until I asked her to do it. She's never met her, never seen a picture of her, anything.

After the video was posted, I went over the the hospital to check on Ans and to show her the video. When I got there, Ans was crying because she was sooo sick and in so much pain. She barely had enough strength to give me a hug when I came in. The doctors came in and gave her some medication and stuff, but she was still in so much pain she couldn't stop crying. I decided to show her the video to try to cheer her up. I started talking to her about the video before I got it up, saying that Holly had done a video just for her. She was shocked. It was soo cute. When I got the video up, she immediately stopped crying. We watched the video, her smile growing until it reached ear to ear.

I received a letter from Ans & her mom today. Her mom told me about her progress, the chemotherapy and stuff like that. Enclosed in the letter was also a little thank you note that Ansley had written. She was so grateful for the video, saying how special she felt that it was a video just for her. <3

We need more special people like Holly in the world. That will make a difference with their talents.

I love you Holly.

I love you Ansley.
