Im 15 years old. my family isnt the "leave it to beaver" picture perfect family. we dont go to each other with our problems. me and my mom dont go out shopping like other daughters and mothers. My brother who is a year older than me has down syndrome. August of this year my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. it was hard because i couldent tell her how i felt and what i wanted to say. the day i found out i cried for hours. every cancer story i have ever heard always ended with the person dying. i didnt want to see my brother without a mom. i didnt want to see my dad without a wife. the hardest part about it was that we couldent talk about it. and my friends would shy away from the subject. she couldent take my brother to all his special olympics games. she couldent go to my cross country meets. i would cry at night because i just kept thinking that i would be sitting in school and they would call me to the office and telling me that she past away. and that i would never see her again. even if we dont talk that much i still love her and i dont want her to go.

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.

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...
Amids this tragic time you have been offered a gift in discuise by the sounds of things. You may be presented with an opportunity to "bridge the gap". I think it would do you both the worl off good if you were to share with your mum exactly what you have shared here. You could even put it in a letter if face to face communication of this nature is too uncomfortable or intense.
I truly believe with all of my being that if you were to brave it take this chance that you would be offering your mother a tremendous gift of soul food and spiritual healing.
You have no idea the affects that offerings of love and kindess can have on a cellular level for those experiencing terminal illness.
This could be the best thing in the world, not only for your mum, but for your relationship with her.
Many hugs and blessings for you sweety, let us know how you are getting along throughout this bumby journey.
