My mother had a passion for music, a love for the ocean, and a heart that could heal a million souls. She was more than generous, in fact almost too generous, but very prideful. I know for a fact, my mother would smack me for making this fundly account.
I almost lost my mother at the age of nine, when her first breast cancer made itself known. She told me, despite being raised jewish, that she wanted to be cremated and be taken to Chesterfield Gorge in our birthplace of Massachusetts. My brother and I will be going there and many other places in New England, playing each and every song that symbolizes those moments. If you knew my mom, i consider everyone of you very lucky.. because you'll never meet another woman like her. She fought for 25 years. Defeated breast cancer twice, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, and thyroid cancer. Unfortunately the breast cancer came back metastatic and only gave my mom a few more months to live out her life. Sixty years old is far too young, but she made the best out of her life that she could and if I have half the strength she had, I know I will be ok. <3
