I recently found out that my mother has been diagnosed with colon cancer. It was a big blow to the image I had of my mom. She's so tuff, so... unbreakable. For the last 3 yrs. she has refused to talk to me due to a disagreement even thoe I call and stop by. And on this day, out of the blue, I got a call. What made the pain even worse was that, not only did she have this potentaly fatal desies, but that she was diagnosed 2 yrs. ago, underwent surgery and chimotherapy and THEN called to tell me.
My mom has always been pretty simple. I think the biggest thing shes ever asked for was a $10 bottel of body wash that she liked the smell of. All I want to do now is be with her. I don't care about the fights or the diffrences between us. I just want her to get healthyer and happyer every day. My mother is very religious. I have always admiered her conviction and faith. But I want to figure out a wa to tell her she should lean on her children for strength too. Don't just talk to god, talk to the kids god gave you. We love you too.
