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. 11995514_10206913209524335_514060325_n.jpg
 
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.
 
Wow, your mom is a very strong women! Also that is a very lovely picture you made her. Its really good!
 
Both of you are very strong. One person doesn't get cancer, the whole family does. Thanks for sharing.
