May Day

May, the month my life changed forever.

The doctor diagnosed it as cancer...

What did she do to have to go through this pain?

I had always thought I would be able to see her when shes old with a cane. 

Chemo and radiation was her method of treatment, 

it was all so new, I had no idea what it all meant. 

She felt so sick and tired everyday, 

I watched helplessly as her hair fell out...never to be able to turn gray. 

Mom, I so wish I could do all of this for you, 

I love you, I love you, I love you, I really really do.
