My daughters Facebook status

My 20 year daughter posted this as her Facebook stays yesterday whilst I was having my 5th chemo, thought I would share it with you: " Watching my mum fight cancer has shown me how strong she really is, all kids say that there mum is strong, but mine? Mine is the definition of strength, seeing her hurt, cry, in pain, ache, and what this treatment does to her not any woman could do it, but she is and I honestly have never been so proud of anyone or anything. experiencing this with her has changed my whole perspective on life. Live for the moment, don't sweat the small stuff, appreciate what you have and enjoy what's around you. I love you, only one more of these horrible chemos to go! ? "

    how nice is that, as we all know it's not just us going through the journey, but the whole family are affected, how nice to have the support from your daughter to show how much she cares and share it with everyone. Well Done Daughter XX

    Hi Sam,

    I couldn't help reading your comment and wholeheartedly agree. I also have a 15 year old daughter who as they are is very self centred but I know she probably would be feeling some of these feelings. I also don't expect her to voice them but I know she is a very caring, loving child in her own way. Yes they are very special and I treasure every moment with my 2 girls ( no boys so I can't comment on them!!)

    As Sam says cherish the moments with her.  My daughters were very attentive to me whilst I was on chemo as well.  Both live away and have their own commitments.  One rang every day and the other one (with little ones) was always ringing and offering her wisdom (she is a Clinical Psycologist).  I am so glad that they were not with me to "see" the reality of it all.  I know that they think I am wonderful - and of course sometimes they think I am a pain but we have a lovely connection.  I now travel and see them often and whilst I am with them I am very aware of "making wonderful memories".  XLeonie
