long hard battle

cancer took away my moms ability to feel beautiful in her own skin

she was still beautiful, but awfully thin.

cancer didn't just take her life

it took away her ability to dance, to run and eventually to walk

could you imagine being stuck in bed staring at the clock?

you are the strongest and most caring person i know

you could have given up so many times but you wanted to see your grand kids grow.

your attitude is what cared you on

without it I don't think you would have lasted as long.

it has been a long hard battle we have all been fighting

and it has been anything but exciting.
