Cancer Sucks

2nd Christmas without step mom laura 8-(

Prayers to all the families out there who have had to watch someone suffer from this horrible disease. Lets hope some big strides are made next year in finding a cure.

I just came across the story of this young mans life who was taken way too early from his family and it made me think of my step mom.

It is 14 Christmases without my Son who died of Glio Blastmas Multiforme brain cancer
and 12 Christmases without his dad, the love of my life. who died from Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Our son was 26 and My husband was 54... My son was a singer like the young man in the video.

Yes, people die young, unexpectedly ..

But Garion 55, they are still with us as long as we remember them. I have this on my desk and it comforts me, each day.

I AM WITH YOU STILL by Angel Sukhs

I give you this, one thought to keep
I am with you still, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When u awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush ,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still
In each new dawn..
