In memory of
My Momma
I'm doing this for my mum and for Pat 2 of the most amazing women, and 2 women I have had the honour of having in my life Cancer is something I never thought would really affect my family. But in the past few months we have lost one member to cancer and now I face the prospect of also losing my amazing mum to it. The thought of other people going through what me and my family are now; the unknown of how long is left, having to sit there and watch my strong, brave mother in pain despite pain medications, knowing that she will never see me get married or watch her grandkids grow up is whats spurring me on to do this. No one should have to lose someone this way No one should have to go through what my family currently is
