I have decided cancer is the ugliest six letter word I have ever heard!
My family like many, many, many other families in this world have lost loved ones to cancer. My family like all these other families have lost grandma’s, grandpa’s, aunts,uncles and so on. My family like these families miss our loved ones very much. We all remember all the good times we had with our loved ones till this terrible thing called cancer got a hold of their bodies and took them from us.
Many,many,many families also lose parents to this disease called cancer. Families lose their dad’s and mom’s to this terrible disease. When it’s a dad or mom that is taken away there is a very different feeling of loss. It’s a much deeper loss. In my case this terrible loss would be my mom. I lost my mom to cancer on New Years Day. It’s an incredible heart break to know I won’t get to see my moms smile anymore or hear her laughter. I won’t get to feel one of her special hugs anymore or hear her say “I love you”. Loosing a parent, a mom, my mom to cancer. There really are no words to describe this feeling. To say it hurts would be an understatement.
I am so thankful that I did get to tell my mom how much I love her before she left us. I got to kiss her cheek for the last time and say “I love you always and forever mommy”.
In loving memory of Maureen Ann McCann Christiano 12/3/40 – 1/1/2014
