Today my heart is heavy with a tremendous amount of sadness. A year ago my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the time of the original diagnosis we were praying for a year with her, her goal was to see my sister get married and she made that goal, but now the cancer has progressed and has taken over her abdominal area. I know I should be thankful for the year we were given, but right now it seems that it flew by too quickly and I'm being selfish here, I want another year! In the next day or two we are going to learn if surgery is an option to help her quality of life and if we can buy just a little more time. If you are a person of faith I ask you to pray for her, specifically that she not have to endure pain and suffering, and that an operation will work for her. My mother is an amazingly kind and compassionate person. She has never wanted for anything, but to see the ones she loves happy. So that you know who you are praying for, here is a little tribute to her.
She is the best mother you could ask for
She is kind to everyone, the kind of person who sends her friend an annonmous card with money in it so they can buy groceries and still go to bingo!
She is the most creative person I've ever met, so creative all my friends were jealous of me during school, because they knew I would have the best projects.
She always thinks of others before herself. She loves to buy people things she thinks they would like.
She is a fighter
She loves numbers, bingo, suduko, lottery and vegas
She loves dogs, especially Skippy and her beloved Barney
She makes the best fried chicken and potato salad you will ever eat!
I could go on and on about my mom, but I think you have an idea. She doesn't deserve this, it seems so unfair.
Please pray for my dad as well, as his heart is breaking more than anyones!
