Cancer sucks : ((

I've just had the news tonight my wonderful daughter in law's friend has passed away from this hateful disease that has no compation .. she had two young little ones the same age as my grandkids... I didn't know her well .. but remember chatting to her at a kiddies party befor we were both touched by this cancer ... I felt I'd known her years and it stayed with me how lovely she was and she touched my heart ..

I've followed her story along with mine .. just preying she'd kick it's *** ... and just wanted to put something down, so others would read how amazing and brave she was ... she'll live in so many hearts now .. right now I wish there was a real boxing ring .. and we could all look it in the eye and smash it, like it does to us .... 

Tomorrow I'll get tough again ... but right now feel a little broken ...  Chrissie  

  • Hi Chris, sorry for your loss, I've lost two over the years to C my daughter in law she was only late twenty's throat C they operated four times but it spread to quickly other was step brother lung C people said we looked like brothers just he was five years older, as you say keep fighting God bless.

    P.s don't know how I forgot brens younger brother he fought it for years it finish up all over his body I think you try to forget bad things but they keep popping back up in times of weakness, it's a reminder were not immortal just human, again so sorry Chris, 

  • Thanks Billy...your really lovely ...  

    I've known lots to but it's her little ones ....both under 7 ....  just want to wrap angel wings round them ... but thinking that's probly happening right now ... 

  • I am so sorry Chrissie, you of all people. One who comforts and advises so many whilst going through her own treatment and worries shouldn't have to hear such devastsating news.

    It will help you to write in down like you did, it won't take away the sorrow or the pain you feel right now and none of us have the words that will ever console you enough  but i hope that by people replying to you that it helps in some small way just by knowing that we care. I know you already know that but i just want to remind you.

    All i can offer is a BIG HUG but a gentle one and please know that we all cry inside for those who didn't make it despite fighting the biggest fight of their life.

    You can't be tough all the time and you are not broken, you have just bent a little bit and when the shock subsides you will straighten up again.

    Take Care my friend :love: PJ. xxx

  • Hi I think you'll like this one, when our daughter in law died she had a 7 year old girl her father died in a car accident two years earlier, she went to live with her grand mother we went to visit couple of times but weren't allowed in, so rather than cause trouble stayed away, about ten years later a teenager turned up at our house asking why we didn't like her we asked her in and explained as carefully as possible what was going on, showed her pictures of her father she couldn't remember we were soon all in tears and she realised it wasn't our fault,, we're still best friends, and she's married now with two daughters of her own, she comes to visit whenever she can, when we go visit her fathers grave she always comes with us, always brings flowers and you can see the tears in her eyes, same as ours, 

  • Oh billy, how wonderfull ..

    My mum used to say "what goes around, comes around"  how crule to be turned away .. but what a little mirical she found her way home to you both ...  

    Was just listening to   " in the arms of the angels ...   "  Chrissie  xx

  • Thank you P J ...

    Your words are so lovely .. and thank you so much ... they mean the world .. it's just although I didn't know her well... I did .. I followed every step of her journey ... and as hard as cancer is, no mater age ... I can't get my head around those young ones loosing their battle.... who have young children ... 

    I've lived a life ... they are just starting ... so sending everyone a pair of vertual pink gloves today ... wear with pride... for those lost and those still in the ring ... kicking cancers *** ... 

    Thanks again lovely lady ...   Chrissie...

  • Errr Chriss do you mind if I have a different colour, people might start thinking things, mind you some of the things people wear nowadays, OK I'll wear them under protest only in the house though, 

  • Bless ya ..

  • Oh chriss, I am so sad to read this....those poor young children, my heart is heavy for them.....

    In that beautiful young ladies honour we will fight cancer every inch of the way...I will offer up a wee prayer to her and her children......god bless you chriss xxxx

  • Thank you ...Marlyn, 

    That means a lot ... l just keep thinking if it was nearer home, and I can't stop crying today ... I've lost older people and can cope ... but this has knocked me for 6 ... not for me ... but those young babies ... another young family devastated.... as you know I've got a soft spot in my heart for those so young ..

    But your so right .. Cancer thinks well all buckle ... but no way ... wer even more determined to kick it's *** ... and stick two fingers up ... 

    But thank you everyone ... l know it wasn't family ... but like us we don't really know each other ... yet are a vertual family on here too .. and think I'd hate to loose anyone we get to know on here .. we don't have to be related to really really care ...  big hug to you all ...

    Boxing gloves at the ready  .... wer going for a knock out ...Chrissie
