Wordless Wednesday #5 That's My Mom



I know it's supposed to be wordless but I'm a rule breaker... Today is the one year anniversary of my mom's cancer diagnosis. Hard to believe that a year has passed! A year ago I sat in a room and thought the doctor was crazy when she said that she didn't think my mom had long to live. A year ago I thought somehow they would fix her, make her well... A year ago I thought she would at least live a year or two or maybe five... A year ago I was naive...

This is one of my favorite pictures of my mom. She was so happy that day. She was so happy most days actually. I miss her.... A year ago I didn't think I could live without her. What's funny is that most days I still think I can't live without here but somehow I keep waking up! Miss ya Ma!!!

It is a very pretty picture of you mom, and it is so sad to know that she had to go so young. I sincerely hope for you that you only keep the good souvenirs with the time.

Such a beautiful woman, thank you for sharing her. My daughter was diagnosed with cancer a year ago, but she was pregnant at the time and couldn't receive treatmeant till August. She had her last treatment mid January and we are now awaiting results of her test. I pray for her everyday and am hoping that she has concured this.
I am sorry for your loss and hope that her memories will carry you always. God bless you. Thank you for stopping by.

Wow! You sound like I did almost 8 years ago when my mother died of leukemia. I was with her from the diagnosis to the last day. As I read your wonderful post, I felt as though you were describing me. The days get easier, but the grieving loss will always be apart of you. Take care always!

That's a good reason to break rules. I so much do understand you. My mommy died on cancer in 1998. I still miss her every day. But she isn't really gone. She's with me every day: in my thoughts, in my heart, in my dreams. And I'm sure your mom is with you every day.

Your and my mommy are sitting on a star and watch there "little ones". They're our guardian angels. I'm sure of that.

Thanks for stopping by my WW earlier today.

Big Hugs,
