I live by this...you have to tell people how much they mean to you. My mom battled and won breast cancer, but before she could get through it all, it spread to her liver and lungs. We were told to expect less than 2 years...and this was last August. She is getting ready to go through a bunch of tests this week to figure out if it has spread any more....there is nothing they can do from stopping the spread. Her body does not respond to chemo or to radiation. We are trying biological treatments right now, but we don't know if they are working. She is so sick and it's so hard to see her that way, but we spend as much time together as possible. It's not fair how hands get dealt sometimes, but we just have to keep our heads up. And it's hard when people say that they understand exactly how you feel, that their grandma had breast cancer or their aunt...well it's different when it's YOUR MOM! Please give your roommate all the support you can, although I dread it, I hope that I will have that support someday. My mom is my mom, she's a teacher, she's a best friend, she's a mentor, she's a coucil, and she's even my sister (DG wise)...it's so hard sometimes.

Then there are friends who sail together, through quiet waters and stormy weather. Helping each other through joy and through strife. And those are the kind who give meaning to life.
