Mom

Today you get to learn a little bit more about Me. Nine years ago I lost my mother to Lung Cancer. It was three days before my 22 birthday (which to this day I can barely remember). I was on winter break from college, my senior year. From the time she was diagnosed in April 2001, she went through Chemotherapy and suffered a heart attack and still managed to fight for eight months.
My mother was always such a strong person, all five feet of her! Even though I saw her struggle I always thought she would win the battle and I was wrong. The day she passed away I had gone to visit her in the morning. When I saw her that last time I knew that she was no longer here with me. I went back to her place, were I was staying for the break, with Hunny and I wept-long and hard. Although she had not yet passed, I knew it was coming. She was 46 years old.
Not a day goes by that I do not have her with me in my heart, spirit and attitude (if you knew her you’d understand).
Take a minute today to be thankful for your friends and family, and maybe even call your mom! Thank you.
