A Little Angel

Rockstar Ronan... a beautiful boy who passed away from Stage 4 Neuroblastoma cancer in May of 2011 a.  His story, told by his mother Maya Thompson, is gut-wrenching and sad.  I've spent the last four days obsessively listening to Taylor Swift's song Ronan, written for him through the use of his mother's words taken from her blog.

My heart aches for Maya, for the son she lost, whose life was cut short by this horrible disease, and whom she never had the opportunity to watch grow up, graduate from high school or college, attend prom, start his first job, or even get married and have children of his own.  

What a beautiful soul this little boy is.  And through his life and death, his story inspires so many.  Thank you, Taylor Swift, for helping his story reach millions!

Also, if you purchase "Ronan" from iTunes, the proceeds will go to cancer-related charities.  Or you can donate directly to the Ronan Thompson Foundation below like I did.  It's easy and painless - unlike the awful disease that Ronan had to live and die with.
