.. be strong x

Hi there, I'm so sorry you lost your mum to this horrid disease.  Today marks 1 year exactly to losing my dad, 3 days after diagnosis. Life is so cruel! I don't think I ever got really angry, maybe cross at things but not really angry. The one thing I struggle with is the quickness of it all. Take care of yourself and family. x

And I thought we had a raw deal...my Mum died on the 28th Setember, 12 weeks from diagnosis with no actual cancer treatment.  Hers was of unknown primary origin so they couldn't target anything and she was, in all honesty, not strong enough by the time she was diagnosed for broad spectrum or targeted treatment.  I wrote a poem to sum it all up and I'd like to share it - I hope it is appropriate to do that...

DEAR MUM

It is hard to know what to say

About the speed with which you were taken away.

We are all so shocked

That your life was stopped,

In such an abrupt, cruel and insidious way.

Cancer barely gave us time to adjust,

Or share final moments that are a must,

For claiming our closure

And retaining composure,

Instead of leaving us all feeling crushed

Yours was a totally unfair fight.

If it wasn’t, you’d have employed your great might,

To come back with a roar

As you’ve done before

When challenged by Earthly life’s blight

I can’t help but wonder if we did enough.

Sharing this with you was painfully tough.

I wanted to do so much more,

But the prognosis was pitifully poor

And the journey so rapid and rough

And now you are gone.

Cancer has won,

Taking another bright light for its score.

What does remain

In our hours of pain

Are the memories, the love, and the laughter once more.
