My mom was the cancer patient. I was the only thing she had that kept her strong and fighting. The first time she beat it went into remission and in her last year she was rediagnosed. It was breast cancer but in other organs. I was a senior in high school. Was told she wouldn't make it to my graduation. She was there! Her treatments would work and then quit on her. All the while she would fight. She fought til she couldn't. She never gave up until her body gave up on her. In the end she was tired.
I will never know how much pain she went through. I can only imagine how she felt. I could only see her pain through her eyes. I felt helpless. I wanted to do so much and just didn't know how. All i could be was the rock she needed to lean on.
But she fought for her life with every bit of her soul, strength and body that she could. She really did show me what faith, trust and fighting can do for you in life. Her fight showed me that you have to fight for what you want in life.
