My Mom got her pathology

My Mom got her pathology results back from the tumour that was found. All is good. We are all sleeping a little better now that we know that everything is fine, but it really felt like a very long week of "what ifs". Especially this weekend. Sunday marked the 3rd anniversary of Faith's death. It was a hard day for Keith, Papa and all of the siblings...made more difficult by a large misunderstanding on a family members part. I would have given anything to have Nana here to smooth things over, the way she used to. I would have loved to have seen her smile and tilt her head the way she did when she thought you were getting all out of sorts for nothing. This past week, while waiting for my own mothers test results, i found myself thinking of Faith more than usual. She was a woman who had incredible strength and beauty. She was a woman you would not want to mess with...for although she seemed very quiet and reserved...she had a temper. One that i was glad to have only witnessed but a few times. She was fiercely protective of her family, like a mother bear guarding her cubs. She was the one i called on to answer the hard questions about parenting and life.. and although she very rarely gave you the answers, she helped you arrive at the decision that was the right one for you.

I loved her laugh.
I miss her hugs.
I wish she was here.

I miss you Faith
May you be peaceful and pain free
Far away from the cancer that took you from us way to soon.
