I Relay for a reason close to my heart.

I Relay for a reason close to my heart. This year marks 5 years mom was taken away from us! My mom battled with Cancer for 5 years before she passed away at the early age of 57 in 2008. All at the same time my Dad has fought and so far won the battle with Cancer as well for the last 6 years. When mom was diagnosed we didn't know what to expect when they said incurable. I was 24 at the time she was diagnosed and she was a fighter. Never once did she say no to helping me plan my wedding or to babysitting my son. She never complained of pain even though we all knew she was in lots of pain. She is the one who kept us strong, instead of us keeping her strong. My Dad is doing really well and all this has taught me to live each day to the fullest. I really miss my mom but know she is here with me every day and no longer suffering. Too many people have been taken away from us due to this terrible disease.
