Sunflower Susan, you're a ray of kindness. You help everyone, but your petals are wilting; your yellow glow is fading and your stem is leaning. Your campaign to help is now halting. Sunflower Susan, grandmother, sister, aunt, mother, you're falling apart now and it's hard for us all. I feel angry. Saddened. Shocked. Could this be history repeating itself? Cancer rearing its ugly head to take another? Sunflower Susan, you will keep growing. You will keep strong, your stem never breaking. Sunflower Susan, I have hope and faith that you will survive. Sunflower Susan, please survive.

Sunflower Susan
Sunflower Susan, you're a ray of kindness. You help everyone, but your petals are wilting; your yellow glow is fading and your stem is leaning. Your campaign to help is now halting. Sunflower Susan, grandmother, sister, aunt, mother, you're falling apart now and it's hard for us all. I feel angry. Saddened. Shocked. Could this be history repeating itself? Cancer rearing its ugly head to take another? Sunflower Susan, you will keep growing. You will keep strong, your stem never breaking. Sunflower Susan, I have hope and faith that you will survive. Sunflower Susan, please survive.
my aunt, whom i'm very close to, got diagnosed with cancer and it's all really hazy and upsetting. i have faith she'll fight it, though, i have faith and i have faith until i have nothing.
