Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this, it really sucks! I lost my mom in '94, 2 days after my birthday. I think about her all of the time and how proud she would be of her grandson that she last saw when he was 3. Also, the 2 little granddaughters she never got to meet (my brothers kids). she wanted so badly to be a grandmother but only got to enjoy it for 3 years. It makes me sad that my son will forget & my nieces will never have known what a wonderful person she was.

Although the pain of the loss will get easier to deal with as time goes on, it never goes away. I am crying my eyes out right now just thinking of the pain you are going through and remembering how difficult it was for me & my family. Try to be strong for your dad, he will need a lot of attention once she is gone. He is losing the love of his life.

Sorry for the long post. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

Mike

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I have been holding off on posting as this is way too close to home for me. My Mom was diagnosed with cancer before Christmas and they only gave her a 20% chance of survival, now 6 months later she has a clean PET scan. Seeing how your mother was doing well then this, scares me knowing that the exact same thing could happen to us.

Having never met you, but hearing all of the wonderful things about you on this forum, I know without a doubt that your mother is proud of the man you have become. I'm sure that you are what she considers one of her greatest accomplishments. I will pray for you and your family and hope that God changes his plan for your family, and if not I will pray that he gives you the strength to get through this extremely difficult time.
