Farrah Fawcett – Farrah’s story – May 15, 09

If you ever do have a chance to watch a meaningful and life changing film, this is it. I doubt you will be the same after that. It sure puts life into prospective. None of us is immuned from life ultering situations. We can go from an easy, comfortable and carefree life into a nightmare in an instance. Only if we have faith, as Farrah portrays in the documentary, we can get strength from God to go on.

I hope and pray her mission would be acomplished and cancer can be beaten. May God help ease her pain now and give comfort to her family.
