Battling it out in October
It's the beginning of October.
We were busy shipping out our first round of Tiny Turnip Playoff gear to customers, who were getting ready to battle it out to get to the next round. While, Saylor was battling just to get through the day. Loosing most of her gorgeous brown hair in one night, she was fighting. Saylor was diagnosed with Leukemia on Sept 17th, the night her mom had taken her to the hospital, thinking she was having a severe reaction to a bug bite. Five days later, Saylor started her first round of 10 days straight of chemotherapy.
Sayor radiates beauty. Her beauty shines from deep within her heart and is obvious from the moment you meet her. Captain of the JV Cheer Squad at San Clemente High School, and loved by her peers. Bright eyes, a wide smile, her mother's dimple and to top it off, a signature beauty mark on her left cheekbone. But not only is Saylor beautiful, Saylor is strong.
Saylor is also a fan of baseball... and of her brother, Sam. While most sisters dread going to their brother's baseball games, she wouldn't even consider missing one! She has always been one of Sam's biggest supporters. And now Sam is her biggest supporter. He is a perfect bone marrow match. A match made in heaven.
In October, Saylor couldn't go to Sam's games. She couldn't cheer. She couldn't do much of anything. But between her fevers, nausea and vomiting, she could watch the Playoffs. It was something to look forward to, and take her mind off of this nightmare she had found herself in. Giving her mom the play by plays of what was happening during the games, even though her mom was sitting there watching with her. She was excited. And this made her mom happy. So, after loosing her hair during Post Season. She watched as the Red Sox grew out their infamous beards, cheering for them to get all the way to VICTORY!
There is something to be said about home field advantage, and winning at "home", Just ask the MLB 2013 World Series Champions. You are surrounded by family, friends and fans! Who are not just spectating, but participating with you in your battles and celebrating with you in your triumphs. You are in your own community, and familiar with your surroundings. There is noise! There are cheers! Even if the odds are stacked against you, anything is possible! You are PUMPED!
So now it is time for our community to cheer for Saylor! To put on our strong face, our rally gear, our courage caps! To surround her and encircle her with our prayers and support. To encourage, empower and love her.
At home... and away.
Be Strong Saylor!
Your fans are behind you.
