I wish all the mothers and grandmothers, who are in treatment, a time out from all thoughts and activities related to your breast cancer. I wish you a day of fun and love with family and friends.
For all of of you mothers and grandmothers who have moved past treatment and are getting on with life, I hope your day is all the sweeter, knowing what a gift it is to be well enough to be here enjoying the love of your children.
To all the mothers and grandmothers who are now, or were caregivers to those of us with breast cancer…thank you for your love and selfless sharing. None of us, who’ve had breast cancer, want to think about what we would have done, how we would have done without you.
To the sisters, cousins, nieces, and aunts who also mothered us during treatment…thanks for making us feel less alone with our fears.
To our dear friends who are mothers, and those who are not…thanks for mothering us during an incredibly difficult time of our lives. You made our time in treatment bearable with your calls, your visits, the hours of listening, the dinners, your company in treatment rooms, and at medical appointments, childcare and child comfort when we were to sick to do so, the errand running and most of all…your upbeat, positive attitudes.
To those women, on our treatment team, that treated us as individuals with feelings and fears that needed attention, not just women with breast cancers that required medical interventions…thank you!
As women, as caregivers, as survivors, as mothers, we all have so much to celebrate about ourselves today!
