Hey guys, no worries at all if you decide you want to skip this week’s video! This is really only for those of you who tune in regularly and are here not only for the "ups" but willing to ride out the "downs” with me on this journey. I think sometimes it’s easy to perceive ✨vanlife✨ as a carefree lifestyle…and while yes, often times there is a lot of freedom that comes with it-trust me, I still have many, many cares. Thank you so much to those of you who watch to the end. I do not take for granted all of your kindness and support. I’ll be back as soon as I possibly can to catch you in the next one ♥️ (For anyone else feeling like their new year into 2022 has started off on a rocky road, just know that you’re not alone and that I’m sending you so much love from afar. Hang in there! I can feel better, brighter days are coming…)

[@Graceful585]

Anna, you have been through a lot as a young woman! I have been watching you for a while, although haven't commented until your last few videos. I could probably be your mom's age and as a mom of a 30 year old son, I would just encourage you to just know that life has it's twists and turns as you know, but I see in you have a very strong, caring, loving soul. Faith can walk you through so much and I encourage you to do what you are doing, because you are a very intellectual young lady whose heart has experienced tremendous loss over the years and I would encourage you to allow yourself the time to heal, cope, grow and shower love on those who mean the most to you in your life. You have a wonderful group here and so many are lifting you up because they love you and cherish who you are and all that you share...YOU'RE an "Old Soul" with so much more to give. God Bless you and Keep on Keeping On! 😇🥰🙏

[@dogegftrillionaire5170]

Aloha from colorado and Hawaii ....(depending on the temp..... :) ...i love that you are obviously stressed but still very calm and articulate with your expression of emotions .....(which means you'll not crumble from the stress bu† will overcome and grow well from these challenges. 🌻 P.s. Hi Mom ..GET WELL FAST

Keeping you and your mom in my prayers...your channel has helped me through heart breaking nights my old son dj passed from covid in July of 2020 at the age of 39. I have been with you on so many of your journeys.💚

[@j.f.l.7649]

What a strong beautiful woman with a kind soul. Sitting here crying with you. We got your back. We love you Mom 💜 get well soon

[@pokergypsy55]

We are here... and will be waiting as long as it takes. Be strong.

[@QT2789]

Here's a big internet hug. Dealing with the loss of a parent and then other parent gets sick seems like throwing all the pain, grief, etc. in a blender. (At least that's how it felt to me when I was in that situation over a decade ago.) The pandemic just seems to turn any other challenge up to 11 or 12. Thank you for sharing your struggle. Family and self first. Take care of you. A helpful analogy about self-care - As a former volunteer firefighter/EMT we trained on keeping ourselves safe so that we did not become a victim needing aid or rescue in whatever situation we were in. So help your Mom, but find a way to have time to deal with your emotions, etc. and not wait until later, avoid letting it build up and cause further struggles. You seem like you're on this path the way you present yourself, so I hope you are managing your stress and grief as well as you appear.

[@annauncharted]

Larry, I love the words you leave here so, so much. Sending you a great big hug right back. 🫂 Your blender example and analogy feel so spot on inside for me. I used to bottle up my emotions so much as a kid and teenager. I guess you could say I’ve grown and spun myself in a complete 180° way over the last good few years. I’m still learning and growing and trying to figure myself out (I imagine I’ll always be doing some of that)…but yeah-it’s so important to tend to our own hearts and not forget to check in with ourselves during times like these. ❤️

[@QT2789]

@@annauncharted I'm glad it was helpful. I just sensed your need for encouragement. You're doing great! I'm sure that your Mom appreciates all you are doing. As far as figuring oneself out, I'm 57 and still trying to figure some things out. We're all just making it up as we go with the information we have available. My own health challenges that came up during COVID really grabbed my attention, and I found a clarity that I never seemed to have. I had my prostate out due to cancer almost 18 months ago. I had MAJOR existential anxiety waiting for surgery. However, it was cured just by waking up from surgery. All blood tests have been good. I was really thankful that my older son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter (7) live with me. COVID changed their plans to move out when they were on their feet. So I know how much your Mom appreciates having you there. Then I got diagnosed with diabetes almost a year ago. It runs in the family, but I saw how my Dad would eat a huge bowl of ice cream every night and complain how bad he felt. I don't like feeling gross and just falling asleep in my chair, so I was motivated. I changed my diet and got down to a once a week injection in about four months and amazed the doctor with how well I had my glucose under control. My vision also got better. Things are going great now, other than my 100 year old house is really freakin' cold right now! (I live in Kalamazoo, MI) I've got plans to try and do some long term truck camping this summer if COVID isn't still a major issue. I can work from anywhere with an internet connection, if that goes well for a week or two, then I can go longer. I plan to take off every Friday this summer for three day weekends so I can maximize my explorations. If it goes well, I can potentially sell my house and live cheap to bulk up retirement savings. Best of all I can have warm toes in the winter since I can travel South! I had the idea to live out of an RV & travel and work while driving home after my younger little brother had a stroke and we nearly lost him about 5 or 6 years ago. That's when I stumbled onto RV life on KZbin. I watch all kinds of channels to learn what works in different situations for different people. Even if it doesn't work for me long term, I want to see parts of this country I've never seen and visit family like my grandnephew who will be two next month and I've never met due to COVID and visiting my aging aunts and uncles I haven't seen in years. After being cooped up by the pandemic and other health issues, I'm just ready to get out and do something different. Time to stop taking notes and dreaming about it and act! I think you have the right idea to do all your travels while you're young and healthy. Sometimes I get the thought that maybe I waited too long to do this. But every RVer of every age and other description does it, often with less than I have, so I'm sure I can do it too. Again, thanks for sharing your adventures, thoughts, learnings, and struggles! You're an inspiration to an old(er) guy like me. (As are many RV life KZbinrs.)

[@meldixon1327]

You know as I sat here and watched this video, I sometimes think we as KZbin viewers (myself included) forget that people such as you a KZbinr have lives outside of what your channel is all about. So, for you to come out and share what I think is very private, emotional and consuming is very BRAVE of you and is probably what you need to help you during this very hard time. Just know even though I don’t comment on all of your videos (but always give a thumbs up) I do follow you and you have been kind enough to respond to two of my comments. But, first and foremost while you are taking care of your mom and taking care of your dads stuff…make sure you are taking care of you. As much as you love and are taking care of your mom and need your mom…she needs you just as much. So, a healthy Anna is going to make for a healthy mom. I will add you and your mom in my prayers tonight and my morning prayers. Take the time you need and your true followers will be here when you return to your travels. Stay safe, get warm and just know that God has already given you what you need for this season in your life. 🙏🏾😊

[@chrisdevalcourt648]

Well said!

[@annauncharted]

Mel, I’ve read your message over and over probably about 4-5 times now. Grateful, happy tears are welling up and I wish I could better express how comforting and helpful your words are to me in this present moment. In the past it’s certainly been all too easy for me to pretty much forget about caring for myself while I’m trying to be there for everyone else. (It often wasn’t a great thing in the end.) I really am striving to be better about not forgetting to care for myself alongside caring for the people I love. Thank you so much, I feel seen by you and I’m so immensely grateful to know you’re here.

[@ARTIST-AT-LARGE]

Hey Anna, you don't owe us a timeline! Deal with life on your own terms and take as long as you need. We'll be here when you get back. Hearts for your Mom, lightbeams to you both.

[@dorothypaul4642]

AR That's for sure!

[@LowLightMike]

I've been an "Adult Orphan" for almost 2 years now, and the stuff that you are talking about in this video is still very strongly-relatable for me. I realize that your situation is different from everyone else's situation, because life is so unique for each person. But there are similarities that bring healing and peace to us when people such as you discuss them. Peace to you.

[@annauncharted]

I really appreciate you sharing and I resonate deeply with your words. You’re absolutely right that life is so unique to each and every one of us but it really does help and make a difference when we’re able to share from time to time and be able to connect. Feeling understood, seen, and heard by others…even just one other person out there can be both comforting and reassuring.

[@LowLightMike]

@@annauncharted Books could be written about many peoples' experiences and emotions doing the simple tasks of winding-up affairs of a passed-away person. Whether it be emptying a storage locker, or turning-in an ID card to a government office (my own emotional moment), those simple tasks are packed full of meaning and can have lots of slow lingering time. (I sat in my car for 15 minutes just looking at the ID card, before I could get on with the task at hand.)

[@evangelineevans3498]

I’m probably a little older than your target audience but I love watching your videos and being Asian myself , I naturally gravitated to watching your videos. You are in my prayers. I know you are dealing with a lot but I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love!

KZbin CAN wait! You are young and have lots of adventures in your future. Your mom needs you now and you need that time with her, too. Treasure every moment. I look forward to your future travels, whenever they happen. And maybe you know someone with a heated garage somewhere to thaw and drain those pipes so they don't cause a problem? I wish you and your mom all the best.

[@sherryspectre217]

I too, feel exactly the same...

[@annauncharted]

Thank you Allison 💜 couldn’t agree more with all that you’ve said and shared. Perhaps I’ll find a heated garage-but unfortunately my rig stands pretty tall so the height is often the real deal breaker that isn’t making it possible at the moment-but no worries. All will work itself out 🙂

I was my wife’s caregiver when she fought Triple Negative Breast Cancer and then 12 years later she had a benign Brain Tumor. I learned that you just love them no matter what… they might get angry, and sad but know that they love you and not take it personally. I got my wife two therapists one that we both went to and discussed everything, and one just for her. We also got a Naturopathic Doctor to get her body ready for each phase of treatment s going through breast cancer. She is lucky to have you, and you be kind to yourself. Every so often I had to get a break and do something fun for me. Those days her other friends would come over and I might go and see a Movie or visit friends. It won’t do her good or you get run down, God bless you Mom, you raised a wonderful, beautiful young lady…it’s all we can hope for. Dave

Long time lerker, first time commenter lol...love you and your channel Anna. Hang in there! And I'd argue that this is exactly what the internet was made for. I think the more people share the hard stuff and the mucky stuff, the more people will feel less alone in the world. I really appreciate that your being real and honest. The last thing KZbin needs is another vanlifer sugar coating their lives, so thank you for always been real with us

[@chrisdevalcourt648]

Agreed ! Most brag or sugar coat. Rarely do they get real or honest.

[@annauncharted]

Hey Ashley, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words. They really mean so much to me and inspire me to continue this weird, wild, journey both out there in the world and on here with all of you. In the beginning, when I first started making KZbin videos, I really wondered and often doubted myself and the stories I wanted to share because it felt like for whatever reason it wasn’t common, or normal to share the realness and just be honest (especially if it was more on the messy side rather than the beautiful). I still struggle at times-I’ll admit I was very nervous to publish this video. But thanks to people like you-like I said, you inspire me to keep going and pushing forward. ❤️

[@ZeldaJeanE]

Ok to be kind to yourself, upload YT when you can, but hope you keep writing in you journal to groun yourself. Sending out & Mom great healing vibes & virtual hugs

Well said, we need to see the good, the bad and the ugly. I’m sorry you are going thru bad times, prayers you are in better space as I type this ❤️ You are beautiful inside and out. Prayers that your Mum is also in better space. She definitely has a wonderful daughter ☮️🪅💜

[@WhaleBalm]

Tears have a wisdom all their own. They come when a person has relaxed enough to let go and to work through their sorrow. They are the natural bleeding of an emotional wound, carrying the poison out of the system. Please dont ever worry about showing these kind of emotions. Everyone will experience this at a time in their life, its inevitable. Posting this takes great courage, and as a father I would be so proud of my child for displaying this kind of strength. You and your mother are in my thoughts and I hope you can continue making cherished unforgettable memories, vanlife or not.

[@annauncharted]

Thank you so much for these words. When I was younger I really struggled to find ways to deal with my emotions in a healthy way. I wish so much it was more normalized to cry in our society…because I agree so much with you that tears have a wisdom all their own. In some ways I feel like it took me a little too long to figure that one out. Having a good cry to work out pain, grief, sorrow…doesn’t make one weak…it makes one human. ❤️

[@plainandkatie7496]

Your comment is beautiful. Thank you for being an emotionally attuned father to your children and encouraging this strength in others. Vulnerability is so often unrecognized.

Aww Anna! Yes this is an emotional roller coaster! I am so sorry that both you and your Mom are stuck on this tough, rough path. Lots of LOVE, Hugs and Prayers for you both! This is all very tough and then dealing with your Dad's stuff too! I completely understand. I think overall you are handling it well. You are strong! Very strong! Sure you are crying, I was wanting to cry too! Maybe that is the sudden shock of this happening so quickly! I am so sorry that at your young age you have already dealt with so much and it is difficult again. I think you are a positive person. Isn't it wonderful that you came all the way home for Christmas. Isn't it good that you had some issues with your Van and you ended up staying longer and you were still home! You are being such a good Daughter for your Mom. Isn't it wonderful that you have the flexibility to take care of your Mom! I know it is hard. The greatest gift that Daughters can give their Moms is caring for them. Moms and Daughters are close. Your Mom took care of you, now you can take care of your Mom. As hard as that is, it is a Blessing! Concentrate on taking care of your Mom. Take one day at a time. Definitely do not worry about "your people"! I do not believe that any of us are going anywhere. It's too cold and snowy. 😊 We have to stay home! You stay home too! As long as you are needed! Take care sweet Anna! Give your Mom extra hugs from us.....your people! I wish we could all help in some way. Eileen 💕😊♥️🍁🇨🇦

Hi Anna. Thank you for sharing your truth and for trusting us with your heart. I know you know this but we have your back. Bottom line is that you must do the hard things and live in the “suck” as you said. These times are a part of life and part of living a full life. Now, doing all of this in the heart of a Wisconsin winter ands another dimension lol. I am sending my prayers for you and especially for your Mom. I pray for strength and wisdom for all who are treating her and for all of her extended family and friends who create the support and foundation for her to stand on. Healing prayers 🙏🏻 for you as you support her and also as you work through your Dad’s stuff. Allowing yourself to grieve and process your pain is so important and there is light at the end of that journey, just you wait.

Lots of positives in what you shared, but I completely understand what a bombshell the news is when it comes out of nowhere. Thank you for sharing this. I know it must have been hard to do. But far more real than all that social media ‘perfect van life’ stuff out there. Being authentic is much more relatable. Glad you know to take time out to make space for yourself and your Mum. We’ll all still be here when you feel it’s the right time to share again. Prayers with you and your Mum. Peace.

🙏🙏🙏 Anna, Standing in the gap for your mother and you. Take all the time you need, we will be here to support you. It's a honor to have you as a YT friend.

[@annauncharted]

Thank you so much Walt 🙏💛 sending big hugs 🫂

[@heatherangellight8558]

I keep thinking how blessed you and your mom are that you live this kind of lifestyle that allows you to be there with her and help her through this…. We will all wait and be here when you get back - first things first is for you and your mom to share love and laughter and tears as she walks through this path. So glad the docs said it was caught early. Sending you and your mom love, light, and prayers (think of how many friends you’ve made on here that we are now praying for your mom)!! 💜💗💜

[@annauncharted]

Thank you so much 💜 So incredibly true Heather. I’ve been thinking about the unexpected gifts vanlife has brought me through these difficult seasons a lot lately. Because of my van, I’ve been able to just drive wherever it is I need to go and be-no hesitation and have everything I need with me.

[@FLYWHEEL71KC]

So very sad to hear. Hope the best for your Mom. I feel inspired when I watch your adventures and hopefully this will only be a short detour for you and Mom will heal super quick! Maybe when she's gets her strength you can take a trip South together? Best wishes! ❤🧡💛

[@jeanstrait2904]

Anna take all the time you need, your subscribers will be here for you when you come back. Your mom needs you now and know she is your top priority now as she should be. I am a breast cancer survivor and know she is going thru a difficult time. You are a very sweet, strong young lady and wise beyond your years. Take care of yourself and your mom. Praying for both of you. Be safe.

[@tammy8677]

Sending prayers for you and your Mom. Love and big hugs from Tennessee. 🙏🥰❤️

[@leo102349]

Oh Anna, I understand what you are going through. My Dad died in November, my Mom died 2 weeks later in December. My sisters and I are still reeling. I pray for your Mom and you both. Don't worry about KZbin. We will all still be here when you are ready for a come back. Take care of Mom first and foremost. Sending love and best wishes your way. Take care of yourself too.

[@annauncharted]

sending so much love and many hugs your way 💛🫂

[@benfletcher6365]

You are so sweet Anna! Thank you for sharing your world with us 🙏🙏🙏

[@ErikJohnson2020]

I, for one, am here for the honesty. 😭 I hope you're getting all of the hugs. I'm not sure if you're into fantasy/fiction books, but if you're wanting or needing a mental vacation, I would so highly recommend The Black Prism by Brent Weeks or The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Both are dear favorites of mine.

[@annauncharted]

I always always LOVE some good book recommendations. Thank you Erik! 💛📚

[@Ilithyia_and_Chelsie_Marie]

Sending you loves of virtual hugs, love and lots of prayers for you and your Mom. One of the main reasons I started following you is how kind you seem to be and your warning and concerns for new viewers and those who you fear bringing down to a somber mood reiterates my continued subscription. There are a number of emotions that are not easily processed, and just take it one step at a time, and please take all the time you need.

[@danearle648]

Thanks again for all your openness and sharing these tough times as well as the fun, beautiful moments. All of it is “Life”, and you have such a strong philosophy and personal character that you will pull through and get back to your dreams. Caring for our loved ones is always the priority and I commend you for how you are staying focused on your Mom. Know that we are all sending you our love and understanding.

[@mikepalmer5684]

I have watched you for quite a time now and am struck with your strength and tenacity. I overcame cancer in 2007 after fairly major surgery and my wife passed away two years ago as a result of Dementia. So I know that you will come through all this. In the meantime do what is right for you and your mother. As someone has already said, KZbin can wait. I will look forward to more videos from you in due course. Love and good wishes

[@mirandafolland3440]

Always real - always appreciated. Sending my love.

[@cami-loo108]

Many blessings to you and your mom. For some of us here we see you and can relate. You only have one mom and one you. Take care of each other ❤️

[@ubercookiez]

Gurl,. keep your head up! You're awesome. Even when you're trying to be low, this is legit far from feeling much of a downer. I suppose unless people expected rainbows and butterflies, I quite enjoy how real you are, and appreciate that you're honest about your struggles. Sometimes we need to see the downsides too, just to watch as awesome as it is when you get back up again. I understand the emotional feels with having a mom with cancer, so I can just hope to encourage you and know that you got dis!

[@annauncharted]

Awe thank you so so much for this message. Happy tears are streaming 🥲 thanks to you ❤️ You have no idea how much your kind words are inspiring me to keep on trucking and push through some internal struggles. ❤️

[@markvb]

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your mom Anna! I'm hangin' in there with you...

[@elleaye]

So sorry to hear. Cancer sucks! Many moons ago (13 years) I was with my older brother while he battled brain cancer. A whole year and half we watched his favorite movies, ate his favorite foods & he told me his final wishes he wanted as his sister. Please spend time and enjoy every second with your mom. It will bring you the most comfort and peace. Tell her whatever you must. No regrets. Sending positive thoughts for your family.

[@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377]

Sending so much love and hugs to you and your mom! Be in gratitude that you have built your life to include the freedom to be with your mom at this time. Also, the cancer journey can be a powerful time of growth (personally dealing, not a platitude). Finally.. it’s a word, not a sentence. Follow Dr Zach Bush for some life changing thoughts on the subject.

[@lynetteshamus3805]

Sending hugs! Thank you for sharing and I will keep you and your mom in my prayers.

[@philwaller4379]

"So much love from afar..." I stumbled across this and...just want to hug you. As my mom always tells me... "and this too, will pass." That doesn't make the pain go away, but understanding this will get you closer to acceptance and resolution. You are in my prayers.

[@DianneC8287]

I want to extend my arms out to you and your mom for a spiritual hug for what she is going thru and what you are going thru as well. It’s hard. I know. My dad had Cancer. He’s gone. My mom is gone. It’s a lot of emotions for two years. I too were their caregivers. So yep, I can imagine. Prayers prayed for your mom and you already. Keep journaling your thoughts and getting them out. You’ve inspired me to journal again and I’ve even ordered me stickers for my pages of my journal. I’m no Hemingway but it’s my way of getting thought 💭 out of my head. So thank you for the inspiration❤️ Remember to also care for yourself. Caregivers forget to do that a lot. Do be kind to you. Chin up. Trust God has heard your prayers and been present for your conversations with Him. Ask Him in…He will show up…He loves you both and calls you Beloved. Bye 👋

[@carlashreeve445]

Lots of prayers going up for you & your mom. You are a awesome daughter & you take as much time as you need. I'm sure we will all wait & return when you can upload again! Love your channel ❤️

[@justalex7104]

Sending you love from Ireland Anna. What a tough time you are going through but in the long run it will make you stronger. Hang in there and we all support you ❤️

Sending love and prayers to you and your mom. Keep your chin up, the sun is still shining on you

[@beyouvanlife]

I will be hanging around and waiting for you return. Sending love and hugs during this time. I hanks for sharing and giving a glimpse of what you are dealing with. Love your heart Anna.

[@fredricjulien8738]

Hi Anna be strong for your mom. We will be here waiting for you. Prayers for the family.

[@suzanneg9672]

Hi Mom to Anna! Sending prayers for healing and peace of mind. Anna, love watching you on your adventures. You do what’s needed for you and your mom. I’ll be here to watch and listen whenever you post. Hugs from Amarillo Texas.

[@annauncharted]

Thank you so much Suzanne 💛 🫂

[@andrewspearman9795]

It is easy to be flippant and glitzy and when people ask just say I’m fine. Thank you for sharing and as others have said you are in my prayers. You have not run away! It would have been so easy to jump in your van and escape ( fight v flight) and buried yourself in some wonderland of nature but you have stood your ground. That shows a great maturity of person and soul. You are facing your giants and I applaud you. Physically pat your self on the back and tell yourself you are doing ok. I have just had my 64th bday and here in the UK we are in another wave of COVID. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in October 20 just at the height of another wave. It was the scariest time, but it’s all gone ok. The medicines they have now are so target specific and they took such care and we as a family have kept her safe. We are now building our van so we can travel the UK ( bucket list to visit every county) and elsewhere. When you lose your mum or dad you stack their stuff because it’s too raw to deal with, then over a few years you get rid of bits and pieces that suddenly no longer have that significant attachment. A picture for you … when your boat feels like it’s leaking and sinking and you can’t bail, look up and see all the friends around you with their fingers in the holes keeping you afloat. You have a large community here giving back to you what you have given to them.

[@seansadventures5191]

Hang in there Anna, I know that's really hard. I've been through it. Thanks for being so open. Take your time and hope your mom is better soon. Your awesome Anna. Take care of yourself ok

[@annauncharted]

Will do Sean. Thank you so much 💛

[@cassandrabos2176]

Take care of you and mom love. And thank you for all the “See you in the next one’s”❤️❤️❤️

[@SharonCullenArt]

Oh gosh, Anna I’m so sorry. I’m saying a prayer for her to be healed of this, and for you both to gain peace. Don’t ever put yourself down or speak of your videos poorly. You do a great job.

[@billylowe]

Thanks Anna for sharing and believe me U r not alone I’m a Pancreatic Cancer survivor for 15 years I lost my wife of almost 50 years in April 21 that’s why I started to watch your videos (also Maddie) bc I’m thinking of taking up the nomad van life. Hang tough girl this too shall pass B there for your Mom forget utube it’s more important to b there for your Mom she is already a survivor so she knows. This is real life love so u b strong - Gid Bless

[@billylowe]

That’s GOD BLESS - finger check 😂🤣💕💕🙏🙏💕💕

[@ashleylittlemusic]

I’m so sorry that you and your mum are going through such hard times. I recently went through my own battle with cancer so I can empathise. I came across your channel quite recently and immediately subscribed. I love your videos and watching them has been a welcome distraction but I’ll happily wait for the next one, whenever that may be. Take the time you need to focus on you and your mum. I wish the best for both of you.

[@annauncharted]

Sending you love and big hugs Ashley 🫂❤️ thank you so much for being here on this journey with me through the ups and the downs…it means so much

Sending so much love to your Mom and you. It's a tough road but there will eventually be a stop sign at the end of it. You've got this. So does your Mom. Family over content, always.

[@300lbcanary2]

Just wanted to add to the support we out here in "KZbinLand" have for you. Thank you for the update, take all the time you need, and it does stop sucking. Good Tidings to you and your mom. The South and the beach will still be there when you are ready.

[@christopherstimpson6540]

Thanks for sharing. Your people care about you and your mom. Prayers that she gets better soon. Love the out-takes at the end of your videos.

I really relate to you, i lost my dad when i was 9 to cancer, my mom was diagnosed with cancer two summers ago, only for us to find out it has it returned this winter. Your words are beautiful and eloquent and well thought out. Maybe we will meet somewhere down the road chicka, sending you and your mother many blessings.
