Subject: Goodbye, thanks for everything!
Date: 05/11/2008

Well my friends, it is Mother's Day and it is the first time I have been able to return to this site since my Mom died, it's kind of a tribute to her.

After 2 1/2 years of surviving, my Mother passed away on April 22, she was 62.  She leaves behind her husband, three children, and eight grandchildren, all under the age of 8.  She was so loved and will be so missed, our heartaches are strong and our tears are many.

We were so lucky to have had the chance to say goodbye, she decided on Easter to stop chemotherapy due to several complications including the loss of her entire left side.  During the three weeks at home, we were able to spend time with her, talk with her, and love her until the moment she did pass away.  We all are thankful and feel blessed to have had this opportunity.

So looking back I would suggest to fight this disease with everything you have, try anything new that might give you more time, spend as much time as possible with your family, especially the grandkids and make sure you tell everyone how much you love them.  In the end it's all you have, I have the words, "I love you" will be etched into my memory forever, it was her last words to me.

Thank you to everyone who has written to me, given advice and just offered support.  It is very much appreciated and I will forever be grateful.

Dear Friend

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Mother.  I bet she was an awesome Mom.  Thanks for the advice and may God keep you safe.

I am new to this message board (my dad has been battling stomach cancer for over eight years now), but my heart breaks for you as you deal with the death of your mother.  My mother passed away April 1, 2003 at the age of 64 due to complications from MS. That was the hardest thing I have ever been through.  Even though I have two beautiful children of my own, Mother's Day is still a very difficult day for me, more than any other day of the year.  I am so sorry for your loss, but I will tell you, from my own experience, it truly does get easier with time.  You'll always carry the fond memories of her and she'll live on.

God bless you and yours.

I dealt with GBM with my Mom since she was 59.  I know how difficult it can be.
