I saw a friend repost this, and I had to comment. In February of 2013, my husband and I found out we were pregnant, and in the same week my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. I moved from our home 2 hours away back into my mom’s house to be her primary care giver. It was such a bittersweet experience knowing I was pregnant but also knowing my mom might not see the baby and for sure wouldn’t be there to watch her grow up. She passed away this past January exactly 3 months after her granddaughter was born.

My husband had my mom record her voice on those recordable books. A Winnie-the-Pooh book for her granddaughter and a similar type children’s book that you mentioned for me. It is the best gift anyone could have given me. In the times that I really miss her, I listen to the books. My daughter will have her Mimi’s voice as well. Just wanted to offer that thought as I know every moment you have is precious. Praying for your mom and family.

Also, this blog is so helpful. As I was dealing with lung cancer with my mom, there was one blog that I would turn to that a woman took time to document her journey with her dad. I hope you are able to be a relateable blog for others who are/will be going through similar experiences.

All the best to you and your precious family. Thinking of you.

Incredible. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. What a testimony of love! My mother fell ill suddenly last year and I spent days, weeks, months in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and rehabilitation centers. Never would have expected it. You are so right to enjoy the gift of today. No one know what tomorrow may bring. Peace and love to your sweet mother and your entire family. God bless you!
