#day9 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #MyStory : 9 Years Ago

 #day9

Jumping ahead in my story a bit today because this memory popped up. 😭
9 years ago today.. I was four rounds into chemo. I typically had treatment on a Wednesday and by Saturday I was useless. I typically gave myself that day to stay in bed and sleep through the discomfort. On this particular day, I could not allow myself to miss this tradition with my babies. I mustered up every ounce of strength within me and put on a brave face and did the thing!!
The memories that I have are of me not being able to focus and remembering how hard it was to mentally keep it together. I was not myself. BUT my kids will remember mom being there and our family being together. And that was all that mattered to me!
Cancer does kick your butt but it never kept me down! 👊
My greatest gift in life is being a mom to my beautiful children. They have been through a lot and are so resilient. They are not without some battle wounds but man are they the best kids!
We never know what others are battling or going through (children included) sooo please give lots of grace, show kindness, patience and a lot of love. They need it, we all need it!
