Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

Vince, I am sure you are not losing your mind .. just feeling the empathy that is found here.   All the support does help, at least it does help me.

Ron, I have a feeling that it will be a struggle for my kids on Father's Day next month as it will be their first without my husband.  Each special day or holiday brings memories and tears.  Just try and remember that your wife is always near, and always with you all in your hearts and memories.

Vince, tomorrow is going to be especially hard for you I am sure .. please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.   It is a little uncanny when you read others stories and see your own mirrored in the words.   But I believe it helps us feel less isolated, lets us know others are feeling what we feel, and we can reach out for support even if its just a quick message, it can help make our day a little less dark.  Just

My very good friend in England is participating in a Marathon tomorrow to raise funds for cancer research.  Each participant has lost somebody to cancer or knows somebody who is battling cancer, in her case she is running for her dad (who passed away from cancer), her friend in the Netherlands battling breast cancer, and my husband Paul who has passed away.  Each of their names will be on the back of her shirt.  I am humbled that she has added Paul's name.

Sue, my heart goes out to you this week-end, please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers.   Also, others that are spending their first or another Mother's Day without their Mom .. know that you will always be loved even if your Mom's are not physically here .. they are watching over you.  Good friends of mine believe that our loved ones come back as angels who watch over us all the time.  Right now that is such a beautiful thought I am going to hang on tight to it.

It's going to be a tough day for the kids tomorrow. Their first mother day without their mom. Of course that does not make me feel any better. I went out and put new flowers on Jeans marker this morning. Damn i am down in the dumps today.
