Every day, there are moments, when I give into fear

Close my eyes, hoping, the pain could disappear

If something, as beautiful as a rose can have thorns

The struggle is real, living in the eye of the storm

Despite the uncertainties of her illness, Emily continued, never giving up on her dreams. Hope was what kept her going. After all, beautiful rainbows only appear after the most intense storms.

Be bold, be strong, be brave

Just hold on for one more day

Hold on please, Emily
