Heartbreaking.....

Somehow I thought this would not fit in the "cancer" thread, although they bear the same subject. Hard to say anything about it other than explain what you're about to see.

16-year old Sarah Phillips knew her mother was not going to celebrate her 49th birthday. Four years earlier she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Sarah took singing lessons from age 11 and as a tribute she recorded "Authum" by Paolo Nutini. Acapella. Four hours later her mother died.

Sarah told her father what she recorded, a friend put the song to music and home video footage was used to make a fitting clip. The result was damn moving...


Try to keep your eyes dry. I'm not ashamed to say I didn't....
