She had a stroke from 3 nodes of cancer in her brain, 2 small and 1 big, and so she underwent 5 rounds under a gamma knife. She was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and then she was home for a week. I am blessed by my Lord that she was home with me and my Pa for as long as she was, and for that time I am eternally grateful.
Early last morning, she could no longer breathe; her breathing was heavy and labored. She was taken to the Hospital. Her Doctors found a clot in her lungs and were forced to risk blood thinner for her clot, but it caused her brain to bleed, which was catastrophic.
Early this morning, I saw my Ma for the last time and told her goodbye.
She had Lung Cancer for just over a decade. She attended Church all her life and loved our Lord and Savior. She was a nurse for 30 years, 25 of which were spent working in the Intensive Care Unit. She loved holding her patients' hands and fluffing their pillows or fetching them a warm blanket.
She taught me phonics and read me stories as a child. On Sundays her and Pa took me and both Sisters to Church to hear the Gospel. She gave me the feelings of wonder and awe of our World.
Lung Cancer was a nightmare for all of us, but especially for her. She passed away quickly and comfortably. She was so kind and the most loving woman I know. In my eyes I see her as the greatest Ma in the Universe.
She is now beyond the spectacular and brilliant Milky Way and in Heaven.
I miss you so much already Ma. 💜

It's tough, pede. I lost my mother just over 3 months ago to cancer. It gets, umm...better-ish? Weird, but you never heal, just learn to move on, yet never letting go. Weird comfort for me -- a lot of undeleted voicemails from her over the years, so I can go back on my phone and listen to them and hear her voice. Find peace, live to make her proud. Work to leave a legacy behind. That's what mommas want for their kids. God bless, my friend. Reach out if you need an internet ear to talk to.
