Ode 2 U

A dear and beautiful friend who I've known for about 19 years is struggling with Crohn's disease at the moment and will continue to struggle until a cure is found or even an effective treatment. She is such an inspiration to me. Her strength and her unwavering positive attitude absolutely astounds me!
So I wanted to dedicate a blog to her to let her know that I think she's amazing and that I am always here when she needs me, but also to raise a bit of awareness of Crohn's disease. Whenever I am feeling bad or like giving up I think of my friend and remember that there are people out there with far greater problems than mine and that I really have nothing to complain about.

So my beautiful friend this is for you with love xoxo
