Rain Brown Posts Sweet Tribute to Cancer-Free Ami Brown!
Just a couple of weeks ago, Ami Brown revealed that her cancer is in remission. It was a long, scary battle, but she’s begun to recover enough that she can go places with her family.
While fans are overjoyed, obviously, no one is happier about Ami’s recovery than the Browns themselves.
Ami’s youngest, Rain Brown, has posted a beautiful tribute to her mother.
Thrilled beyond belief that Ami Brown is finally cancer-free, 15-year-old daughter Rain posted to Instagram to celebrate her mother.
“I would just like to give a very honest thank you to the most amazing woman that’s ever walked this earth.”
She wrote this in the captions of an Instagram photo (above) in which she is embracing her mom.
“Not only am I lucky enough to have met an angel and know an angel, but that angel is my mother.”
Awwwww!
“Honestly you inspire me more then anyone, and I’m so blessed to know I have people like you in my life that will support me no matter where I go and how I choose to get there.”
Rain then goes on to praise her mother’s parenting.
“You’ve never judged me or punished me but only taught me with love and with leading by great example.”
That sounds like a fantastic parenting style — one that has worked out beautifully for Rain, who is an incredible and compassionate young woman.
“You’re the reason I am who I am and the reason I keep fighting, because if the sweetest most honest happiest person such as yourself can do it? So can I.”
It’s wonderful that Ami can inspire her young daughter.
If you’re wondering what Rain means by “keep fighting,” remember that Rain Brown suffers from depression.
Rain wrote yet another post, sharing words of encouragement for followers who might feel the same way that she does.
“To everyone out there who feels broken…”
Sadly, a lot of people feel that way.
“Someday you will be immensely happy eating ice cream on the floor alone at six in the morning.”
That’s a very specific example of happiness, but sometimes people with depression begin to forget what joy feels like.
“Yes it can happen to you too.”
Rain speaks to her followers about how perspective can help them to battle their depression symptoms.
“Someday you’re gonna go through something only to realize it doesn’t hurt anymore, not in a numb kind of way, but in a happy strong kind of way, stay true to yourself and to God and that’s all you’ll ever need.”
She wants people who’ve felt depression like she has to know that there’s hope.
“It may not seem like it now, but eventually you will be exactly where I am.”
Like Tarek El Moussa’s hopeful message, Rain’s advice is clearly that people need to remember the good in order to make it through the bad.
“This is just a reminder that happiness is real, it’s a beacon of hope and a glimpse of the light that will soon be in your life #staystrong my Rainbrows and remember this unicorn loves you!”
Rain has become something of an unofficial spokesperson for her family in recent months, thanks to her social media presence.
But you can tell that these sweet messages were from the heart.
A 15-year-old may not seem like the most qualified self-help guru, but she’s not trying to be.
She’s just trying to share her wisdom — yes, teenagers can be wise — with the people who follow her to keep up with her thoughts and her family’s activities.

Ami Brown Looks SO Much Better and Cancer-Free!
Only very recently has Ami Brown revealed the good news about her cancer. We imagine that she wanted to wait a while to be sure before announcing that she is effectively cancer-free.
Now, Rain Brown — the family’s de facto spokesperson despite being barely 15 years old — has shared the first new photo of Ami since the good news.
Fans agree that Ami looks so much better.
There was a time when Ami’s odds of survival were believed to be lower than 10%.
She had lung cancer. It head spread to both lungs and to her spine.
Her entire family had to uproot themselves and travel to L.A. so that they could cater to Ami’s needs, living close to the hospital where Ami receives her chemo treatments and living in a house where Ami could recover from the rigors of chemo and radiation therapy.
Fans of Alaskan Bush People had been hanging on to the story of Ami’s battle for her life. But for a while there, things looked bleak. And not just to fans.
Even the family’s youngest, Rain Brown, admitted that she didn’t know if her mom was going to make it.
The news that she was fully in remission is extremely welcome to fans. it was even more of a relief to Ami’s family.
Before the news even broke, officially, some fans wondered if Ami Brown’s cancer was cured in a Christmas miracle.
(At the time, she was still dealing with health setbacks and was still quite sick; also, we won’t tell anyone what to believe, but it was probably a little early to qualify as a Christmas miracle)
After the announcement that she was doing so much better, some fans responded by wondering if Ami Brown had ever really had cancer to begin with.
She definitely did, folks. But now she’s doing so much better. Look!
Rain Brown captioned the photo:
“I would like to give a HUGE thanks to the @nasaarmstrong team They cleared the whole building for us, showed us around and even put a small gift bag of trinkets together for us! Literally speechless! #stayhappy #staystrong #nasa”
Rain also clarified that yes, she absolutely touched everything.
(We’ll go ahead and assume that this was okay)
In the photo, you can see other family members — including Bear and Gabe and Billy — but all eyes were on Ami Brown.
And Ami looks so much better!
She’s standing beside Billy and is wrapped in his arm — but she doesn’t appear to be leaning on him. She’s also out of her wheelchair.
There’s more to it than that, though. There’s a strength to the way that Ami’s standing.
We don’t mean that she’s ready to start bodybuilding any time soon, just that she no longer seems like she’s fighting to stand withe very breath.
If Ami had her wheelchair there and was only standing for the photo, then she’s doing one hell of an acting job.
As for the rest of the family present … Rain definitely looks the most stylish, but we like Birdy Brown’s jacket.
It’s been widely reported that the family has made its exodus from L.A. and is headed off to “parts unknown.” By which we mean Colorado. They’re in Colorado.
They traveled to their new homestead via caravan, including an RV.
Fans speculate that they are filming Season 8 in Colorado, though this wouldn’t be the first footage captured for the season.
We don’t know what their residential situation is in Colorado with their new homestead.
As we’ve learned from their time in Alaska, the “home” shown on the show isn’t always the same as the place where the family sleeps at night.
That’s reality TV for you.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Beth Chapman is Now Cancer-Free!
Back in September, we all heard the grim news that Dog the Bounty Hunter"s wife, Beth Chapman, was diagnosed with throat cancer.
It"s only been a little more than two months, and we already have a great update on that front: she is now cancer-free.
In the video below, you"ll see Dog and Beth receive the very good news, and the whole family"s response.
Dog The Bounty Hunter, whose real name is Duane Chapman, is a larger-than-life, eccentric, and often controversial reality personality.
But no, he"s not actually a parody. This is a real person.
And so is his wife, Beth Chapman.
A&E"s series Dog The Bounty Hunter captivated audiences in its run from 2004 to 2012, and that was only the start of the couple"s reality career.
This time, Beth even made the title of CMT"s Dog & Beth: On the Hunt. That series ran from 2013 to 2015.
Even people who never sat down and actually watched Dog and Beth on either series developed some affection for the couple, particularly as they were parodied. Both Dog and Beth were memorably portrayed on South Park, for example.
So the news that Beth Chapman was diagnosed with Stage II throat cancer had a far reach.
But obviously, no one was more impacted than Beth and her actual loved ones.
In the A&E special, Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives, we see Dog answer the phone.
We can"t hear what"s being said to him, and he keeps a fairly straight face.
(It"s reality television, folks — you gotta build that drama, and Dog knows that)
But he was hearing the results of a pathology report on Beth, who has clearly (as you"ll see in the video) been treated for the cancer that had been impairing her ability to speak.
Dog walks over to Beth and her family, who are all clearly hoping for the best but perhaps fearing the worst.
Dog delivers the news:
The pathology report was negative — there"s no cancer detected!
Beth is relieved, and comes forward and hugs Dog, who also speaks to the camera about the results:
"There is a God. This could be a miracle. This could be a healing."
Dog has never been shy about his Christian beliefs, often expressing them to fugitives whom he captured on camera.
Dog continued:
"[The doctor] said if I wasn"t such a good husband it wouldn"t have worked out that great. Oh I can breathe. Beth Chapman, you did it."
We"re trying to imagine what the doctor might have said along those lines — maybe "it"s good that you were supportive of your wife; cancer patients need that."
We know that it sounds like Dog is trying to take credit for Beth"s remission but he just talks a little strangely.
Anyway, we are absolutely delighted by the news. Obviously, no one"s stake in this was as personal as Beth"s, but the world can breathe a sigh of relief.
Cancer is the absolute worst.
In this video below, in addition to the good news and Beth"s family"s reactions, you can see Dog express his fears.
No one wants to have to bury a loved one, and Dog is among them. He says that he would want to die before Beth because he doesn"t know that he could bear it.
That"s understandable. Maybe now he won"t have to think about that for a long while. Hopefully, ever again.
