This week's Simply Kind Tuesday comes from She became a Butterfly. ?She emailed me this incredible story. I thought that it reflected our values and ideas about striving to be kind against many obstacles."I would up doing something very important by accident, Claudia."In December, an amazing girl named Eden died from neuroblastoma pediatric cancer. I do fundraising for those kids, and she was a special one. I went to her funeral and at the funeral, her parents had the song ?Angels on the Moon? from Thriving Ivory played. Before her death, Eden told her mom she liked that song. I?m enclosing the lyrics so that you can see how meaningful they were for this family."Last night, I found a woman named Becky who was giving away tickets to Thriving Ivory to anyone who had a concert coming to their town. They?re coming to our town on Feb 18!!!!!!! I emailed her the story, and now Becky is trying to gather some more tickets for the family of Eden ( http://www.edenadams.org ). Together, we?re trying to do something nice for the family."Here?s Becky?s site: ( http://nickels-n-dimes.com/ )Lyrics:Do you dream, that the world will know your nameSo tell me your nameDo you care, about all the little things or anything at all?I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feelI wanna sunburn, just to know that I?m aliveTo know I?m aliveDon?t tell me if I?m dying, cause I don?t wanna knowIf I can?t see the sun, maybe I should goDon?t wake me cause I?m dreaming, of angels on the moonWhere everyone you know, never leaves too soonDo you believe, in the day that you were bornTell me do you believe?Do you know, that everyday?s the first of the rest of your lifeDon?t tell me if I?m dying, cause I don?t wanna knowIf I can?t see the sun, maybe I should goDon?t wake me cause I?m dreaming, of angels on the moonWhere everyone you know, never leaves too soonThis is to one last day in the shadowsAnd to know a brother?s loveThis is to New York City angelsAnd the rivers of our bloodThis is to all of us, to all of usDon?t tell me if I?m dying, cause I don?t wanna knowIf I can?t see the sun, maybe I should goDon?t wake me cause I?m dreaming, of angels on the moonWhere everyone you know, never leaves too soonYou can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skiesAnd show me where you run to, when no one?s left to take your sideBut don?t tell me where the road ends, cause I just don?t wanna know, No I don?t wanna knowDon?t tell me if I?m dyingDon?t tell me if I?m dyingDon?t tell me if I?m dying"Sometimes, the smallest effort makes the biggest difference.~~~~~~~~
