To The Childish Immature Individual ...
On May 31, 2001 my Mother lost the ugly battle to the breast cancer that she so bravely fought. For three weeks I sat next to her hospital bed bathing her, feeding her and reading to her. Not one time during those three weeks did I ever hear her moan or complain about pain. The doctor's often made comments about how brave she was. They would tell my brothers and sisters and I that they were amazed by the tolerance she had to the amount of pain she had to be in. But she never did. She never asked for pain medicine. She just silently went to sleep.
But that was my Mom. She raised 7 of us kids after my father decided he was tired of beating her and he wanted his freedom to date without the hassels of a wife and kids. I was 4 years old at that time. She held her head high, worked long hours and often did without so that her children didn't have to. She unselfishly gave to us without one word of complaint. I used to think my Mom was so stylishly thin, when it was mostly because she didn't eat so that there was enough food for all of us. I didn't understand those things until much later in my life.
I can't remember my Mom going out much or dating more than one man after her divorce. I remember her kneeling on a small pillow in her bedroom each night to Pray. I remember her playing inside games with us when the weather was bad. I remember her singing to us at night. I remember that she always knew the answer to every question I had. I don't ever remember her taking any luxury vacations. I don't remember her belonging to any social clubs. And she never remarried. She devoted her whole life to her children. She sacrificed ... for me, for us.
She taught me some valuable life lessons. She never critisized my parenting, she always gave me tips and suggestions. She was just such a wonderful woman. If I live to be 100, I will never be as wonderful as her, but I try and aspire to model my life and my personality after her. She inspired me when she was alive and she inspires me now. I wish I had just half of her inner strength. I wish I had 1/4 of her self confidence. But mostly, I wish I still had her.
Because even after 7 years I still can't believe that she is not going to pick up the phone when I call her. She had the exact same phone number for 40 years. I called it for three years after she died. The person who answered was sweet enough to understand. My Mom didn't tell us she had the cancer until it was too late. So I had only 3 weeks to prepare myself for her death. Is it possible to ever prepare yourself for the sudden death of your parent, your hero, your mentor? It wasn't enough time for me. I still feel so lost without her in my life.
So I apologize if this section on our ME page offended you. It wasn't to solicit charitable funds for The Susan G. Komen foundation, it was in memory of my Mother. It was so that someone, anyone won't have to feel the way I feel each and every day. It was to save a life, and a lifetime of grief and pain. It was for Breast Cancer Awareness. It makes me feel good to let others know that there is something they can do to help themself and the ones they love. And I will continue to do what I can to help this wonderful organization until the day I die.
Since you felt it was in violation of policy and was compelled to repeatly report it, I removed the whole section. I have Prayed for you and I have Prayed that I can forgive you for your childish immature actions. Those are things you will have to answer for, but they certainly are not things that will effect my life. I have a much greater Power on my side.
God Bless you, your family and all of those who associate with you.
*In Loving Memory of My Wonderful Mother ... I miss you everyday.
