Come On Baby With Me, We're Gonna Fly Away
It's Sweet Story Sunday! Today's sweet story isn't about romantic love, but a different kind of love- the love of a mother and son, and of strangers reaching out to make a difference.
Taylor Swift wrote this song for a little boy named Ronan, who died of cancer at 4 years old. Swift co-wrote the song with the little boy’s mother, Maya Thompson, after reading one of her blog entries. Thompson has written many heartfelt and emotional posts on her blog Rockstar Ronan about her son and his battle with cancer. In early September, she wrote a post directed to Ronan. She wrote, "I told your Sparkly the other day, 'If Ronan had to die, you can make damn sure I am going to make something amazing come from it. He will change the face of childhood cancer.' I hate that it had to be you. But baby, just maybe, someday, another little boy or girl won't have to die from this disease because of the awareness you are bringing to it." All proceeds from the song will be donated to cancer charities.

Clouds Are Shrouding Us in Moments Unforgettable
Sorry it's been a few days since my last post, it has been an extremely busy week. But, what better day to return than Sweet Story Sunday ;) I love that such short and simple stories can show such a large amount of love, and since I've been MIA for a few days, I've decided to share more than one :)
"Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for almost 15 years said to me, 'Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing, isn’t she?' I paused for a second and said, 'Yes she is. I bet you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis.' 'Sweety,' my grandpa said, 'I still see her beauty every day. In fact, I see it more now than I used to when we were young.'
"Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a 14 year old boy out of his mom’s fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident. Doctors initially said he would never walk again. My daughter came with me several times to visit him at the hospital. Then she started going on her own. Today, seeing him defy the odds and smile widely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a ring on my daughter’s finger."
"I was sitting on a park bench today eating a sandwich for lunch when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled down the windows and turned up some jazz music on the radio. Then the man got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the woman, took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak tree."
"I was driving home with my father when he suddenly made a u-turn and said, 'I forgot to get your mother a bouquet of flowers. I’ll pick up one from the florist at the corner down here. It’ll only take a second.' 'What’s so special about today that you have to buy her flowers?' I asked. 'There’s nothing specifically special about today,' my father said. 'Every day is special. Your mother loves flowers. They put a smile on her face.”

Love is All You Need
I've decided that every Sunday I will post a short sweet story about love, to hopefully inspire you and put a smile on your face :)
"Today, as my 91-year-old grandfather (a military doctor, war hero, and successful business owner) rested in his hospital bed, I asked him what his greatest life accomplishment was. He turned around, grabbed my grandmother’s hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, “Growing old with you.”
