Mom's Cancer Lessons Continue

My mother was loving to all.

She taught her children well. 

• How to laugh, even when raising a mere smile seems impossible. 
• How to celebrate the smallest of victories as it is a positive step forward. 
• How to remain curious for learning never ceases.

Her living with cancer is a lesson both my late brother and I benefited from although she would have hated having had us put through it.

• The occasional vent is fine, but a constant whine is not.
• Continue to do for others.
• Never give up hope.
• Focus on even the tiniest wonders of nature and respect it.

Her valiant battle ended 26 years ago this year. 

Luckily, her lessons continue thriving.
