Oncologist gift with Jimmy lyrics - suggestions?
Good Morning,
We're coming to the end of our daughter's cancer treatment - a long 43 weeks. She's 20 and her cancer is considered a children's cancer so she's been treated at a children's hospital with few kids her age and so far we haven't met any with her type of cancer. She has a great team of outside therapist who she adores and a complicated relationship with her oncologist. The therapists make her feel better, the oncologist oversees the treatment that gives her awful side effects and makes her sick.
Her last treatment is early May and I think it needs a celebration and a thank you. We're working on a Jimmy themed cake pop thank you with cake pops that look like margaritas and drinks in coconut cups.
I wanted to display them in an handmade pottery bowl that would be a gift to her oncologist. I want to have words from a song imprinted into the bowl. It can't be too long - I'm searching for suggestions. So far I have:
After one or two false starts I believe we found our stride
What do you think? Any thoughts? Any lyrics that you think would be perfect? It's getting exciting thinking we're planning for the end - its been a long year.

Well I'm sure "Why don't we get drunk and......" is out of the question so how about
"Life is complicated with it's ifs and ands and buts It's alright to be crazy just don't let it drive you nuts"
From Simply Complicated?

Re: Oncologist gift with Jimmy lyrics - suggestions?
These are great - she would find a lot of humor in "get drunk" but it is a children's hospital that she's dealing with so…..
There has been way too much seriousness with all of this so light hearted and fun and maybe a hint of sarcasm is good.
I'll check back to see if there are more suggestions and show these to her - thanks!!

Considering it's a children's hospital maybe "Where children play on the shore each day, and all are safe within"

It is for her doctor. I like Attitude of Graditude - that just might work and I don't think I would have found that on my own. Thanks

Congratulations to your daughter!
My first thought was "With a little love and luck, we will get by. With a little love and luck, we'll reach the sky."
"A little gris gris keeps you safe from harm."
"Barefoot children in the rain. Got no need to explain."

I went with: If we weren't all crazy, we'd all go insane.
That seemed to fit the best and it has been a crazy time and going insane closely describes this past year. I ordered the ceramic bowl yesterday - I think its going to be beautiful. It's bigger than I expected made from 5 lbs of clay. The words are stamped around the outside rim and its glazed in earth tones with a sage green and cream swirl. I had no idea how long it took to make - months! The potter was awesome. He had just finished throwing some of the pots and had one that wasn't claimed so he gave it to me and he might be able to meet our tight deadline.
The plan is to fill it with Jimmy themed cake pops. Now I have to practice making them so they'll look good. Too bad the margarita ones haves to be non-alcoholic, darn children's hospital.
Many thanks
