My Mother

My mother was a lovely lady she was the world to me, my dad, and my two brothers whole but she was especially my youngest brother whole world because he was just a baby when she was diagnosed with breast cancer the first time and she fought the battle for 2 years and won and we thought the awful battle and i mean it was an awful battle there were fights and tears and many battles between me and her and her and my dad. Don't get me wrong I love my mother with all my heart but it was a hard two years and then it got even harder because even though she went into remission for two years she wound up getting her cancer again and it was another battle for another two years but unfortunetly she lost her long battle with cancer in 1996 i was thirteen and my brothers were 6 and 11 and my dad was 42 and my mom was 38 and i am not telling this story to try and discourage any one because this was over 14 years ago i am telling this story to let people know that there are all kinds of stories with the battle with cancer whatever kind of cancer it is. so i hope that even though my story was negative i do want to say that it was a long and hard battle but it made everyone invovled stronger and more closer together in the end.
