This is not a sad story.
It's a story of love. Of the possibilities of faith. And the power of friendship. And it's a story about how none of us is promised anything beyond this moment, and what control we do have is how we choose to live it.
For my mom, the story began about six months ago with a cough that just wouldn't go away. Then, shortness of breath. Finally, about a month ago, a cancerous mass was found on her left lung.
my mom 66, smoked as a teen-ager, and then again briefly about five years ago. The cancer has spread to the lining of her lungs and into her lymph nodes. Doctors are trying chemotherapy to slow things down, but that's all it will do. Plainly put, she is dying. But that's not the way my mom intends to live the rest of her life.
This is just another leg of the journey, she said, and I don't want it to be about fear. Instead, she said, she wants it to be about growth, and a testament to the love and friendship she said has brightly bloomed in this otherwise dark time.
I would really like to do something nice for my mom., something that i can hold onto and make her feel good. I want to make her queen for a day...................hugs (more)
