Welcome Guest  —  One member and 5 guests online
The Breast Cancer Site Community is coming to a close.
First, please accept our sincere thanks for taking the time to join and post on The Breast Cancer Site Community, a part of the GreaterGood Network Community.

As of Tuesday, July 15, 2008, our BETA test of The Breast Cancer Site Community will come to a close.

What does this mean for you? As members of the original GreaterGood Network Community, you will still be able to access your member profiles and see all of your posts, blogs, photos, videos, and guest book entries under "My Content" in the left navigation. The main difference is that the breast cancer forums are no longer available; posts to forums may not be edited or added to, and the color and branding of the overall community will be purple for The Animal Rescue Site Community, which is continuing.

Your stories have touched many, and created a safe space for those living with cancer, survivors and supporters to share information, hope and support. We are honored that you allowed us to share with you in your joys and losses, fears and triumphs.

We are working to make sure you will again have a community available to you where you will continue to feel safe and heard. Your input is important to us - if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email the community moderator, greatergood.moderator@gmail.com.


Thank you.

Sincerely,

The GreaterGood

Well, Mothers day is coming up, and 6 years ago, around Mothers day I had some other disturbing news. A growth was found on my brain. It got me to thinking about my girls and all they had been through. So I sat down and wrote them this poem. I put it in a frame and gave it to them for mothers day that year, and they both to this day still have it. I'll share it with you all. Hope its a help to you in some small way....

~This mothers Poem to her girls~

I look at you and can't believe how much you've grown

How time has flown

I know life to you hasn't been fair

How little time we've been able to really share

Disease has robbed us of so much, my Sweets

But always know, it was not what i wanted:

More time with you, to do things we couldn't do;

I know there were times, when you were small, you didnt know from one day to the next, where you would be,

Or, even if I would be

I'm so sorry

For putting more on you than you should have had, at such a young age.....

At a time when those things should have been far from your precious heads!

If there were a way I could make it up to you,

My sweet ladies.....

I would!

If I could take the pain, I know you must feel daily, Never knowing what the future holds, I would with out hesitation!

But Because I can't, I must see, and know in my heart, how much stronger this has made you from the start!

Because of the unfair invasion that has prevented us from going and doing

We've been able to sit and talk and watch the sunsets on our long walks

We've seen the sadness in it all, Yes its true,

But we have seen the Beauties

And I have been given the honor and privilege of witnessing two small Lovely giggly little girls,
Grow up into Beautiful Young Women.

I was blessed once by giving birth to you both....

Now I am blessed twice by loving you
and in return, being Loved by you so.

And no disease, No time apart, will ever take you away from my heart!

So you see my daughter's, On this Mother's Day, I just wanted to say,

Thank you for making my job as a mother So easy

And thank you for understanding,

When I know that was a task, Not so easy to ask.

~Always Remember~

Where ever your lives may take you,

What ever you may go through,

Always rest assured

You take my heart with you.

Much Love always

~Moma~
