This is a story about finding faith in the midst of darkness.
This story and song serves as an encouragement for those who are on the edge of giving up in life. It not only shows empathetic care from a friend, but it speaks volumes to how God is willing to save and help those who seek him similar to the parable that Jesus taught in Luke 15:3-7:
"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

100 Days Before I Die
"100 days before I die. I made a bucket list for everything I want to experience in my remaining days. It wasn't only a bucket list but it became a lifeline - how I could squeeze out every minute of happiness of my already determined number of days. It may have put an expiration date on my life, but it won't define how I spend it. Chronic myelogenous leukemia would not dictate these precious last days of mine to squander on something as vile as regret. From soaring like a bird to witness the stars, through this dance in the rain, or even trying out all delicious tastes I could possibly have, I will never be defeated by this illness inside me. Here are the next 100 days-to live more recklessly, to love more deeply and leave behind what may end up being a legacy" - Pein Claire CliffordComplete
