I just got a BDAY card from my Mom

My Mom is dying from lung cancer and we have had a strained relationship over the years. But since her diagnosis we've been good. I just got a card in the mail from her about how proud she is of me and how my life has turned out. And it just shook me up. I am bawling because of all the years we weren't getting along and the future that she won't be in. She is so young. She is only 49. This is just hard and I needed to let it out. I don't want her to die. I'm going to miss her.

Cancer sucks but at least it has given you both the chance to get closer. I know its hard thinking about the future but try to make the most out of the time you have together..some people don't get that time.

my father only had 7 weeks from the time we found out he was sick till he passed and in that short amount of time I noticed a change in him like you speak of with your mom. I think with my dad he knew he didn't have long and wanted to have all the things in his life in order. It is so hard to loose a parent especially when they are younger, my dad was 51. I miss him more and more each day but know that you come "equipped" with a way of dealing with the passing of a parent. I remember being scared to death of him passing and did the majority of my grieving before be passed but I was glad he passed easy and he was no longer in any pain. I hope this helps you and I am really sorry about your mom.

I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your Mom. I lost both my parents to cancer, and all I can tell you is to treasure each and every moment you have with her. My heart goes out to you, and I will be praying for both you and your dear Mom. ~~~HUGS~~~

Just make the most of now, because it will soon be too late.
My dad died of cancer a few years ago and it was so hard to see him pass away without him opening his eyes to say goodbye.
My thoughts are with you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
