my mom is a single parent and raised me and my brother alone... i never had complain about her hardships in life... she's a workaholic and always keep herself busy and would rarely ask help doing something... but now she was diagnosed to have a brain cancer and was given 2 years to live.. it hurts me too see her in pain... everyday she's becoming weak and people around her could not accept how could it happen to her, a person who is good, never forgets to help. she was advised by the doctors not to work anymore... but still she wants to help alot of people. everyday, i can see her in pain going up and down the stairs, she could not even eat well, she could not even finish a piece of bread.... her will and faith in god keeps her strong but as a daughter it makes me cry how a wonderful mom could still fight for the people under her even if she's getting weaker... my mom is now bald, before, everymorning before going to work she spends an hour aor more fixing herself now, it just takes her 20 to 30 minutes fixing herself.... i just want to let everybody know how good my mom is... if you have same or similar story... i would be glad to read them and learn from it...
