this is my mom. she is the bravest, strongest person i know. she is amazing and i love her to death. my freshman year of high school she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. she underwent surgery and came out strong. that week was the hardest week that year. i spent every night at the hospital then went to school the next to get in trouble for not completing my homework, although my teachers knew what was happening.. the next year was chemo.. i was a horrible daughter and caused her stress and pain throughout the whole ordeal. the day she lost her hair i cried.. she was no longer the mom i remembered.. she was different. junior came and went. and she was strong and cured!<3 i was happy i had my mom back. until that summer when her leg started to hurt, she had trouble walking but she pushed through the pain because she’s amazing<3 september my senior year she found out that the cancer came back.. stage four breast cancer in the bones.. i was so scared that i wouldn’t have my mom.. i thought i was going to lose her. i made her life miserable. i figured if i fucked up and made mistakes she would have to stay and take care of me. and help me. i learned later that that it didn’t help. it tore us apart.. she’s still undergoing chemo and is still fighting this monster! even though we fight and argue my mom is my biggest supporter and cheerleader and i have no idea what i would without her. i lover her and i pray everyday that God lets me keep her for another month.
oh and that’s my dad. he shaved his head with my momma, both times<3 one day i hope to find love like theirs!
ps.. my mom doesn’t know how the cancer has effected me because i don’t show it. i don’t ask about the test results because i’m scared, i pretend that nothing is wrong. when deep down i’m scared. but i can’t show that because i have to be the strong one…

As everyone should already know, this month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is the month where we take time and recognize those whom have fought or whom are still fighting Breast Cancer.
I have a friend named Brandy, her mother went through the fight of Breast Cancer. Although, unfortunately she did not survive no one ever gave up on her. We all hoped and prayed she could get cured from this and live the wonderful life she was meant to live. She was an amazing mother and such a caring woman. Some times I wonder why God had to take such a beautiful person away from her kids and family where she was loved and where she was happy. But even though she is gone she will never be forgotten.
