You know...I just had to start this discussion because I have been holding it in since the Piers Morgan interview. But I am not Kid Rocks number one fan, or even one millionth fan, BUT I respect him so much honestly. Lets start musically...hes amazing at anything he does...what artist do you know that can be successful rock,rap, and country artist? Or an amazing DJ for that matter? His lyrics are great, and no matter what year it is, hes timeless. I have 2 cds, never have been able to go to a concert of his and have no idea where he is at all times because I dont track where he goes...but all of you fans who have been able to see him live I am very envious!!! Hopefully one day ill be able to afford to go! (Just some back ground I am 22 and have been sick more times in my life than healthy, battling type 1 diabetes, surviving pancreatic cancer, survived 2 major car accidents, about a month ago I survived endocarditis (infection in the heart) and the emergency surgery that went along with it...doctors are amazed that im alive go figure...so ive had jobs on and off but i can never do anything fun since im always paying off medical bills :/) BUT I swear one day Ill be able to support him a little more :) If anything i'd love to just meet him to let him know that not only is he an amazing artist but he must be an amazing person reaching out to people in need without expecting anything in return, I know if I ever made anything out of myself I'd do the same thing, but im not from a great neighbor hood and I go through alot of hard times so to me thats a given...and I know he is from Detroit (which ive been there, very cool town) But to see someone as successful as he is with the ability to impact ones life, it still amazes me. I heard of his good deeds before his interview but...I just couldnt hold back any longer! From me to you Robert, or Bob, whichever you may go by, Thank you for all that you do and to be inspirational for me personally through cancer and all of my other trials im given, I know youll always be there in my cd player (yes I still use one) to put me in a good state of mind! Alright...im done rambling :) Im glad I got that off my chest even if he never reads it!

Ash, where in Cali are you?? oh god dont think i'm weird for askin,, but you must know Kid Rock is comin to the Central Coast here in July
Well thanks to everyone really, you have really modivated me to take some action in the book writing. However I know nothing about that process...now, Im not uneducated by any means...I know what writing a book should be....me sitting down and writing this book..BUT as far as publishing goes how does that work? Do people that write books have to have alot of money to publish it? Or are they some how funded...? If anyone knows it would be handy :) OR before I even sit down to write a book, should I go to someone with my story and see if its even worth putting out for the world to see instead of me just personally writing a journal of some sorts? If anyone has that info it would be great, otherwise...im sure have to do some investigating anyways! Again, thanks for all the prayers, it means the world! God knows and hears EVERYONE.
My Dear Little Sister in Christ, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
No, In all these things you are more than a conqueror through him who loves you. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
My Dear Little Sister Ash, just as Summer will quickly arrive so will your Improved Health!
You are an amazing young woman on many different levels and I highly encourage you to write that book - as a Testiment to your Great Strength and the sake of any Weakened Soul who reads it!
May Your Prayers Always Be A Song In Gods Ear

God Bless You Girl. We will keep you in our prayers!
Aw, thank you :) I really appreciate all the prayers always! But, hey if I can inspire anyone like many have inspired me id feel...accomplished. Even though I'm the most sarah plain and tall...I have been through alot...and im sure my crazy ride isnt over, but I didnt want to come on here and sound...i dont know, like I deserve anything for making it through my life...bad genes maybe? BUT...after this last surgery...I considered writing a book...making a bucket list and contacting everyone who haccomplishedas touched my life and changed it, he is defiantly one of them, not on a rock star level, but more on a personal level I guess? AND...last but not least....YESSS I survived pancreatic cancer, Blessing in disguise...I totaled my car in a car accident in nov of 2009 and from that was taken to the Emergency room/ Trauma center where I worked (I worked that night and figured..hey..instead of calling in sick ill just show up as a trauma patient haha) And they just so happened to do a cat scan to make sure I did not rupture my spleen and just came across this softball sized tumor...and less than a month later I had surgery to remove many organs, and I am still alive. Thank goodness, I am very blessed to be alive and am very grateful for what I do have, even if its not much. It could ALWAYS be worse I say!
i bet u have a beautiful soul to go along with your pretty face..and it sounds like Gods grace is with you..even though you,ve been through so much at a young age. May be for u your struggles r about paying it forward in order to help others along the way..stay strong and keep pushin! Your an inspiration
Prayers also go out, yes hold on dear, healings powers are on the way!
Wow, Ashley, you seem like a little Angel!! And, you definitely are being watched over, since you're beating such major illnesses (pancreatic cancer?!!! -- WOWl!!)
Yes, it goes without saying, Bobby Ritchie is a great guy and his music has helped so many people!! I hope you get to see him in concert in the very near future, you certainly deserve that treat!! I wish I could twinkle my nose and make that happen for you.
I think you're well on your way to "making something of yourself" if anything, you're an inspiration to others.
You're in my prayers, Ash!! Take Care.
