Fighter!
Written by jm4ss on June 25, 2009
just after my 12th birthday, i found out my nan was sick, 2 months later she was gone, she passed away from cancer, she had asbestosis and theres no cure for it, being 12 i didnt really understand what was going on, and i wasnt sure why my nan was in the hospital, i couldnt understand why i couldnt make her better, and i couldnt make my mum happy, she was so sad while my nan was sick and no matter what i did or said, her mood wouldnt change, i know now almost 7 years on that my mum must have been going through hell, and no one could help her, my mums had many operations through out her life, and one went bad, after my mum was able to move again, i seen her crying she wanted her mum, nan was still here, just in a different state, since nan died, my mum has batteled cancer, and after having lost both her parents to cancer, she thought she was going to die from it, my mums a fighter, she has died several times during different operations, shes come back everytime, i knew she would fight and beat it, this year my mum went into remission she won the fight against ovarian cancer, she is in the top 10% survival rate, im so proud of my mum, she is my insperation, if i turn out half the woman she is i know i will be okay. mum i love you, nan i love and miss you, i wish you could have seen me grow up, i would like to think ive made you proud. xxx

aw, that's a really sweet blog.
your mom truly is a fighter! it's very unusual to see people fighting and never giving up. your mom is an inspiration to many others who are trying to battle against cancer. I hope that she'll be fully recovered.
You're a strong girl sheree! i can't see my life without my grandmas or any other members of my family although i know that we'll all be separated one day.

thank you hunni for the beautiful comment, im sorry abour your nan, it must have been hard to be there, it would have been hard to not be able to keep her with you, i tried to stay strong, but when i started crying i couldnt stop, it just takes hold of you, its hard though cause you want to help out so much but i think it just makes things worse, because theres nothing you can do to help, just go throuh the grief, its hard to say it gets easier, cause it doesnt, thats why im greatful i still have my mum, and my friends.

Your mom is amazing and its wonderful to read how you feel about ur mom. Its great that shes getting better and on the road to recovery. I remember when my nan died. She died from heart attack,in a way it was the best way for her to go because it was quick and painless for her. I tried to recusitate her until ambulance arrive but it didnt help. I was all strong that few days because everyone was falling apart n I just had to be strong but at the burial ceremony I just broke down and couldnt stop crying. I think I was going to 5 stages of grief. After that I learn to appreciates everyone around so much more because u jsut dont know when you gonna loose them forever and look back and said I should of, would of or could of. So spend as much time with your love one when you can.
Take care and happy days to you and your mom.
