I shall never forget this day.. Not because it was a very special day but because we took these photos. It meant so much. Time stands still. It makes it so that once things change we can honestly smile and get warm feelings for the days gone by. It means that when we are in pain, we can look back and remember this day…

You did not want to have your picture taken mom, but you don’t see what I see. I see someone so strong. I see you fighting for your life, taking each step and breath like it is your last. You have grit. You have brave. You are a fighter. You smile lights up the room and how your eyes twinkle says that you have spunk too.

There is closeness there in this photo. Sure we were made to stand like this, but for us it’s a memory to behold! Your granddaughter stands next to you. She cups your face and can touch you… She smiles knowing that you’ll be there when she comes home from school. Or allow her to play with your old scarves. She also knows all she has to do is ask and you would… You are learning from her, I can tell.. There is wisdom there because of God, because of me, and yes because of you…. I love watching the two of you interact. There is a special bond there. It is a treat for us to finally be able to experience you as a grannie… And to think! We are allowed that daily. I hope Alyssa cherishes each moment spent. Cherishes the touch of her hand cupping your gentle face and knowing that the time spent was worth the gem…

And then there is me. This photo represents 3 generations of us, and it started because of you! The beauty of us three, close together making memories. Laughter. Photos make stories because they make the people in them come to life… You mom, mean more to me than I could possibly ever express to you. Funny, I used to think I wanted another mother only to realize that it was you I always truly wanted!

This photo will forever stand as an etched time, we the three of us touched. Our lives, our smiles and laughter, or genes, or lives. I live for this time. I do not know how long any of us have but it is in these times that I realize because of the where you are, that we must yes we must take each moment like this to cherish.

You started it all.. I am just like you and she is just like me and we are 3.. Generations of a family that is learning and growing through this entire journey. Thank you mom for allowing us to share your journey of cancer, to fight with you and be there when you need us. Because we truly need you too…
