In the case of my mom, who has fought her final battle with cancer, I can finally recognize how wrong that idea is. Maybe it's not a bad thing that my mom is living out the remainder of her life at such a young age of adulthood. Maybe this is but another blessing in disguise from God himself telling my mom to have a break from always taking care of everyone else before herself. Maybe it's time for my mom to realize that she has done so much good on this world and has shared her undeniable kindness to everyone and has made so many people happy. My mom has given so much to her family and friends, and I think she's done more than enough to prepare me for my future.
Thank you so much, Mama. You have raised all of us so very well. Your smile, laughter, generosity, and love will always be cherished and remembered. I love you so much. :)
