We were talking about haircuts last night around the dinner table. I told them about how Abbey will lose her hair. Then I told the boys that Jacob and Micah are going to cut their hair to look like her's. They thought that was pretty cool. Know that we are praying.

Below ar ethe lyrics to a song called "Faith is Taylor's Song." It was sent to me by a friend of a friend who thought of Abbey. It is a beautiful song which proves faith and prayer will get you guys thru this

Special thanks goes out to Jill McCullough for a beautiful lyric and my 15 year old daughter Kristen for singing backup for me.

Verse 1

Intro: G9, Em7, C9

G9 Em7
She was outside, playing in the yard
C9 D
Marching back and forth, with her baton
G9 Em7
It wasn't bad, that fall she took
C9 D
But that bruise, had a different look
Am7 D
Days of lab tests, took so long
Am7 D
Could it be true, doctors have been wrong
Em D
How can life change just that fast, in a moment
Cmaj7 Am7
Faith became Taylor's Song…

CHORUS
G9
She's was small, but she was strong
C9
What life handed her was wrong
Em D/F# C9
Her great big smile never seemed to fade
G9
Every morning she picked a hat
C9
With her clothes a perfect match
Em7 D/F# C9
She never really seemed afraid
Am7 D
most would loose their faith but not Taylor
G9
Faith was Taylor's Song…

G9, Em7, C9, D

Verse2

G9 Em7
It was a Sunny second day, of June
C9 D
Get well wishes tied to each, balloon
G9 Em7
The community, though very small
C9 D
Gathered at the local, fire hall
Am7 D
Her family, completely amazed
Am7 D
When they learned, of all the money raised
Em D
How perfect strangers, blessed their lives
G9
Faith remains Taylor's Song….

To Chorus

Bridge
Am7
It's been two years
Em
Mama prays it stays away
D
Her hair longer everyday
Cmaj7 Am7
Faith remains Taylor's Song

Second Chorus

G9
She's is small, but she is strong
C9
What life handed her is gone
Em D/F# C9
Her great big smile never seems to fade

Every morning she combs her hair

While she says a little prayer
Em7 D/F# C9
She never really seems afraid
Am7 D
most would loose their faith but not Taylor
Cmaj7 Am7
Faith is Taylor's Song…

Faith Remains Taylor's Song....

Hi, my name is Brad Kamphues. I am a cancer survivor. When Andy Fleming told me about Abbey, it touched me deeply. I will keep Abbey as well as your family in my prayers. I went through chemo for 2 yrs. It definately isnt any fun, I think especially for the parents. I was 10yrs old when I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins. Im 38 now. God is the ultimate healer. God is good all the time. He will give you the strength everyday anew to get through this. God bless you.
