Well, tonight at 10:45pm EST marks the 16th anniversary of the passing of my mother from lung cancer. She was a fantastic mother to 5 feisty children, and has been and will always be dearly missed. Every year for the past 16 years, at 10:45pm, 5 phone calls come in from every corner of the country to my Dad's house.
rest in peace mom. my mother was recently diagnosed with lung cancer...i am trying to get back home to be with her. my dad, bro and sis are there with her.
Rest in peace. Lost my mom to complications from lung cancer surgery two years ago. I feel your pain.
I can understand how you have felt for the last 16 years....I lost my dad to MS 17 years come July 3rd. She I am sure she is looking down and smiling that her family still cares for one another.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago this May 31st. She passed 24 days before my first child was born. I see her every time I look at him, and still the anger lingers that she never met him. May your mom rest in peace.
Stay strong and keep her spirits up! She CAN beat it! And don't EVER wait until tomorrow to tell her everything you have in your heart for her.
Good advice! There are a few things that I resent not being able to share with my mom...that is very true. Thanks for the kind words fellas. Although she tried a few times to quit smoking, it never took, and a very unpleasant demise followed. I won't dwell on that, as there are others on this thread that either have lost a loved one due to cancer, or are suffering through a recent diagnosis. Suffice it to say that you don't want it. Prayers go out to others on the board dealing or who have dealt with this loss!
I'm sorry that you lost your Mom to such a terrible disease. My Mom died 26 years ago and it seems like only yesterday. We will always feel the empty space that they occupied.
