Mom, I know I am supposed to be making a website for you, not to you, but I just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to tell you how much you mean to me. You are so incredible! You have a strong ability to be there for anyone, for anything, no guestions asked. You just became a "survivor" of Cancer. And I still do not know how you stayed so incredibly positive! When we found out that you had Cancer, I think we all were in denial, hoping that it would be something else. Praying it would be anything but Cancer. I kept a journal of all the day's you had appointments and what they discovered. I kept wondering why you, why not someone else? But then I realize that was selfish and that I knew you could handle it. I tried so hard to be your pillar of strength and not let you see me worry. I can't count how many nights I would sit in bed and cry. I couldn't imagine a world without my Mom-still can't imagine it. Everyday, you were so upbeat and unswayed with what God gave you to deal with. The only day I saw the toll it had taken on you personally, emotionally, was the day your hair came out. I wanted to make it all go away for you, like you have always done for me. But I couldn't, is all I could do was be there for you and cry with you. On your last day of Chemo, I was so happy, yet so scared that they haven't done enough to make sure it was all gone. Now, you are technically in remission, although they haven't told you a definite yes or no. I am terrified of your next CAT scan. I am praying it is all gone and never ever going to touch you again. We need you here to keep us together, and from totally losing it. You have helped me through some tough parts of my life and I am so incredibly thankful for that. You never hesitated when the girls and I moved in with you, you even said to go to school. There aren't many parents in the world that would take their adult daughter and two children in, unconditionally.
