She Did It!!

Yes! My mom did it! My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer just this past summer. This experience was hard to take on for everyone in our family. It was difficult for me to talk about it, I mean really talk about it. My sister and I had each other for support and at first we would phone each other and not talk at all . . . just cry. We have a close relationship and this brought us even closer. I also have a really great husband who knows how to keep me going. When times were really difficult we turned to the boys who bring such great light to our world.

She has had surgery and chemotherapy within the last 6 months and survived. Not only survived, but kicked it! She is a strong, determined, woman who persevered through the tough times (some very tough times). There were days when she was in so much pain and agony and so very tired, beyond tired, but she kept going. My dad stood with her through every step of the way; through the long nights, through home remedies, through prayer. They say, 'if you can get through cancer together, you can get through anything together'. Our whole family (we have a huge family) and many friends were there for her in different ways; with food, visits, gifts, daily phone calls, care packages, and prayer. I Thank god for many things in my life, but mostly for giving my mom the strength to get through this. My mom is caring, strong-willed, supportive, wise, and a provider of a loving, comfortable and safe home for her family. I love you mom.
