My mom was 84 when she noticed a lump in her breast,i immediately got her to Dr. they did surgery next day.My concerns were the treatment after, the effects after,what were the chances of her not making it out of surgery because of her age and health,so many question's and i was scared to death for her.She came out of surgery well,only fussing why wasn't i there when she came out,she did not know i could not be in recovery,and i could not bring myself to tell her that they could not get it all.It had spread to her lungs and we were about to start a battle for her life, i put my life on hold moved in with her to take care of her,and we had the time of our life,and she knew without me telling her.We laughed,cried,talked about things we had never talked about.When i helped her to bed at night i would always tell her that i loved her and always see you later or good night even when we talked on phone i never said bye to her.
However the last night before she slipped into her coma,i said i love u mom,before i could say anything she said, how i love you too, and thank you so much for all you have done for me,i knew then she was telling me bye without saying bye,i set with her until she slipped into her coma and begun her journey home and was home,she fought like a young person would and i was so proud of her.Moral of this story is do anything you have to do to fight never give up there are people who can help,and will stand by you in time of needs,tell people u love,u love them u never know!.
