Well a lot has happened since I was on here last. I was living in parsons TN for a while then I bought a 1974 Gem travail Trailer for me and my 2 girls. we moved it to my mom's land and was helping my mom with the yard work and stuff outside. my mom's husband told her that I could move in with her to take care of her because he was leaving he wouldn't stay and watch her die of cancer. So he packed up and left. My girls and I moved our trailer from the far side of my mom's land to almost in my mom's front yard. My girls came into my mom's place every morning and I would fix breakfast for every one because my mom didn't want to eat alone. So we would sit at the table and eat together and drink at least 3 cups of coffee then I would ask Ok mom what do you want us to do today? she would say that the house and work needed to be done sometimes but sometimes she would have a look in her eyes and I would say let me guess... should I get the fishing poles and stuff for the day she would smile like a kid who had been ask if they wanted a pet of their own and she would say.. you know we need to get some food to because I don't want to come back till after dark. so I would fix snacks and away we all would go. At this time my mom was 79 years old. but she didn't act it. she still trimmed trees and bushes and was mowing her own yard with a rider, and worked in the garden. All this time I was trying to get Annie to come for a visit. So we set it up that she would come for our first visit on my mom's 80th Birthday because I knew I could get my dad and brother and sister all there and it would be a great surprise. .. and it was. when my mom saw Annie she looked like the kid who won the key to Santa's toy room. Mom had a wonderful Time. This was Oct 29th of last year. When I had went to her Dr. appointment and when he told her about Cemo She had told the Dr that he could cram the cemo therapy up his A## with a barbwire halter. I looked at her shocked and said... Mom you aren't suppose to talk to a Dr. like that. she looked at me and said I'm 80 years old and I can talk to any one how I want I have earned that right. as my mom and I walked out of the Dr office I looked at the Dr and said sorry and he laughed and said for what? your mom is just speaking her mind and then he smiled. My mom was a strong woman but she just wasn't strong enough. Cancer finely won June 26 2018. Close to the end I was sleeping in the room with her at first on the floor then I was able to get a fold up bed. I still find myself being out and starting to call home to ask her what she wants for supper .

First I'd like to offer my condolences. I recently lost my Mother to cancer this past March. I still try to pick up the phone to try to call her. If you ever need someone to talk to send me a message if you are up for it.
