14 years ago

[TerraCaelus]

Everyone remembers what happened 14 years ago. I was 11 years old. Just old enough to understand what had happened and what it had meant. But, I was also facing another hardship. My mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer the day after the towers fell. She became very thin, lost all her hair, went through a divorce and we lost our home during this time. And then she won. She beat cancer and has been in remission ever since. I am so thankful for her. Her strength guides me and inspires me. Every year I try to get her something to tell her I love her and I am so happy she is still here. This year I made her this little picture inspired by her favorite Disney movie.

Thanks you guys! She is an incredibly strong woman. After she finished her treatment, she went back to school, got her nursing degree and got a job in the oncology department. There is nothing that will slow her down.

Both of you are very strong. One person doesn't get cancer, the whole family does. Thanks for sharing.
