Hi Bobbi,
I lost my mom 20 years ago to cancer when she was 62. My dad is 87 now and just had a stroke and not sure how long he'll be hanging on. Plus I'm fighting tonsil cancer myself.
So, there are a lot of us out there with you. You are not alone, we all care for eachother and support eachother. Be there for your mom, spend as much time w/ her as you can. Say all the things you've wanted to say, and just hug her.
God bless you. Be strong.
Rick
