Unexpected Ending

>> Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Last night I was watching a Christmas movie on tv. It was The Fonds or something like that and it had Jessica Parker and some other very famous stars in it. It was to be a comedy about a christmas gathering however I felt like someone slapped me half way thru the movie when you learn that the mother has cancer again and there is no hope. She doesn't want to tell the children til after Christmas. No where in the information that I read about the movie did they indicate that this was going to happen. At the end of the movie they are celebrating another Christmas but without the mother.

This really shook me up because my mom told my step dad that the cancer was back and that she had a bad feeling this time even though she did not go to see the doctor yet. How did she know it was back? She also told him not to let us kids know until after Christmas. How ironic.

Didn't watch the movie ~ so can't comment on that! But just want you to know that your Mom would be very proud of your for creating this blog and sharing a story! It's good therapy - eh?! I am a 3 yr. cancer survivor - still have to go for checkups every 3 mons. etc. Very scary stuff to go thru - it hits you like a lead balloon. Our children now are 28 & 30 and my worst fear was always leaving them! I go forward each day being grateful for each day of my life and every thing it has to offer. Strength, Courage and Hope each day, Baby! Happy Holidays to you and your family.

I wish you the best in your journey. We lost my father in law this last June to cancer. The family is still trying to cope as well. Writing it out is a great idea. Best wishes.
