What a
beautiful young woman she made, and what a beautiful, bright old woman she
makes right now. She used to have this pretty short red hair. With these
amazing brown-greenish eyes, and the amazing smile that never left her face.
She took care of herself, always dressed beautifully and wore makeup. Her
lipstick would stuck on my face whenever she kissed me. She cared for everyone,
old, young, retard, disabled. Nothing stood in her way, she was such a talented
young woman with this big heart where the whole world can fit in it. Wow! The
faith she had. She had tons of it. She knew how to do everything on her
own, she knew what she wanted. She is married to this careless man, who
thinks that he deserves more than her and more than the life he has. He just
wanted a better life than the one he has I guess. Now She stood by him in
better and worse. He didn't really give
her any attention. So she was desperate for some; therefore she changed
her hair, hair color, makeup, but it wasn't enough; he wanted a thin chick with
this perfect figure that she didn't have. He knew it was the only thing lacking
her, so she tried. She tried all sorts of diets, but nothing worked.
Even though she
was one of the most beautiful women over there, she never felt it. Little did
she know nor feel.
She was a stay
at home mom. Her husband didn't buy her clothes nor did he give her any money,
he was a cheap man. That didn't really stop her from getting some on her own. So
she started her own business in cutting hair, waxing women, she did their eye
brows, hair, makeup, etc. With that money she bought a sewing machine and she
sewed their clothes as well.
She was a neat freak, her house was so clean.
At that time, she had 4 kids, two girls and two boys. She deprived herself from
things she wanted and bought them whatever they needed, 'cause their father was
too busy chatting online or out with his friends, basically she's the one
who raised them, with a little help from her husband.
Like all women,
she hoped for the best, she wanted more, she wanted a nice house and a
beautiful green garden. She tried to make that garden she always wanted but she
didn't have the proper tools for it. So she gave up on this garden.
She kept asking her husband to give her money to buy the stuff she wanted for the house, but he always said no. They fought all the time. He'd hurt her all of her life. But she is still with him.
She was well-educated and well-mannered, fought for her beliefs. knew how to treat people, didn't show anyone how miserable her life was, and she always had that beautiful smile on her face. She laughed at the battles she didn't win, loved her parents, especially her mom, and her five sisters and three brothers. They were so close to each other, some people envied them for their relationship; they wanted them to fall, they wanted something bad to happen, and soon enough their wish came true. Her precious mother had cancer, breast cancer. Her mother had had it for three years without knowing. But when it started to show, this disgusting whole appeared on the side of her left breast. At first, she couldn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it, she was terrified. After a while, she found it hard to breath, she went to a simple check up, when she finished it, she heard two nurses whispering " poor thing, she's too young" they said. It scared her for a bit but she had too much to worry about so she ignored it, one summer day, she way lying down with her husband on the bed in their room, the phone rang, her husband answered, "hello" he said, then he just listened to whoever was on the phone, he looked like he's in shock, he couldn't breath, but somehow, she knew, she started to scream and weep, "I HAVE CANCER, DON'T I??!! " she said. She started shacking him, she wanted him to answer her, she yelled more and more, she wallowed, then he held her hand, "We will get over it" he said. She looked at him, and at her scared kids that were looking at their Mommy crying and screaming, and cried some more. She couldn't believe that this is actually happening to her. She had never imagined herself with even gray hair, now she has to deal with cancer. At first she kept it a secret, first because she knew if her sick mom knew, then she will immediately die. Second, she knew that she is living with an ignorant society, and her, having cancer, would make some of them happy and the other half use it as a prove of how she deserved it. But because its such a small town, they knew, and they made fun of her, but some, really loved her, they almost had heart attacks once they knew. Somehow, her mother knew, she almost died, she cried, well, both of them cried, and gosh what a heart breaker, to see these amazing women hugging each other and crying for their luck and life. When one didn’t feel well, the other would go make food, even when she felt so tired and just couldn't walk. Time passed, she went to every appointment she had, and they told her that she gotta start her chemotherapy on the fourth of December 2009. But at that exact day, her mother died. She was sleeping at her house, and her house phone rang at 7am, she answered, and then all what everyone heard was "MY MOTHER IS DEAD!!!!!! MY MOTHER IS DEAD!!" she screamed. It's like she didn't believe it and just wanted to share her misery with all the world, she ran bare foot to her mother's house with this pain in her heart, screaming, crying and slapping her face, so she wakes up from this awful nightmare.

After her
mother's death, everything in her life started to fall apart. Her relationship
with her family, her health, her desire to live, and no one tried to make it
easy for her, her father got married and started a new life. Her husband start
using her illness against her. He was desperate to get married but he was
afraid of what people might say. That’s the only reason that stopped him. She
took two kinds of therapy. She didn't give up on herself, even though at times
she wanted to die, because they diagnosed her best friend with cancer and
within two months, she died. It killed her. Her best friend left 7 children, 5
beautiful girls and 2 boys. So she couldn't take it. But in spite of that; she
fought cancer, she fought it hard, she fought it with every thing she had, she
fought it to honor her loved once, and won this battle for once in her life.
She won it for her mother, she won it for her best friend, she won it for
herself, she won it for her children, she won it to prove to everyone on this
earth that she deserves to live.
I wonder
sometimes what I've done to deserve to live with such an amazing person such as
herself, I think I'm so lucky to have her as my mother, I'm proud to say that
she is the one who raised me, she is the one who taught me how to fight this
world, she is the who gave me the desire to live, she gave me hope, she made me
believe and know that I deserve only the best, she made me feel safe, she
hugged me, wished the best for me, cared for me, and just was there all my life
to support me, gosh, how could a person have such a huge heart, strength, and
faith.
I'm so thankful
for my mom, I thank God everyday for having her. She is everything I have in
this world, she is my mother for fuck sake.
I will always
honor, respect and love her, I will never ever forget what she have done for me
and still doing just to keep the tears away from my face.
Mom; This one is for you love.
Every one has
an angel, a guardian who watches over us, we can't know what form they'll take;
one day old man, the next day, little girl. But don't let appearances fool you.
They can be as fierce as a dragon. Yet they are not here to fight our battles
but to whisper from our heart reminding that its us, its everyone of us who
holds the power of the world that we create. Who honors those we love for the
very life we live, who teaches us whats real and how to laugh at lies
Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend, who
change us and who holds the key that can set us free.
