Today

October 15, 2012 By Emily 27 Comments

Today Cancer took my stepmother.

She lost her 7 year battle with colon cancer.

Cancer took her away from my father and their 14 year marriage.

Cancer took her away from her two children and three step-children.

Cancer took her away from her two beautiful nieces, my son, and my soon to be born son.

Cancer took away her tomorrows.

Today Cancer sucks.

"in memorium" "Colon cancer" "Battling Cancer" "Cancer Sucks"

Today I wish for you to hug a loved one, to cheer on someone battling cancer, to go get regular screenings and check ups, and continue to support the fight to find a cure for all cancer.

Cancer makes you say goodbye too early.

Today I pray for less goodbyes and more survivors.

    Seriously crying right now. For you, and everyone else who has lost someone to an unwinnable battle.
    My mom is a survivor… but right now I have four members of my family fighting different cancers – Lukemia, Lung, Breast, and Tonsil. Cancer sucks. Today. Tomorrow. And every day until we can find a cure.
    Giant Hugs!
