About the love of a daughter knowing her mother will die.

My daughter shares with me a letter. This letter could be written by anyone but it was by a young girl age 14. Few months ago, she receive the news, her mother was diagnosis with leukemia a very rare one.  In a day her world falls apart. The mother who always criticize her because of the way she act or dress or even talk. She remember when she was so mad at her mother she just yelled at her words she meant, but today she would love so much to take them away.

The content of the letter is very touching. She is telling that she does not want to live without her; she regrets all her words, her fight. She is even thinking of dying with the mother because she thinks her life is ending here at this moment. She is asking why her? Blaming her, thinking also she should be a better child.

Amazing how often we focus on the person who is going through the illness instead of the person around them. The love this young girl is sharing to her mother is all confuse. Many of us forgot to share the love, just if it was the last day. I love you mother, you are unique. I want you forever with me. Every day this love should be share.  Today, this young girl, have to find a way to prepare her for this lost. It is so hard at this age to face this reality. The love is so powerful could it be shown for a short period of time the way it should have been.

My daughter and I found a way to put her thoughts on paper, we have helped her tell and express herself through words.

I love you mama!

My head is confuse

In just a second, I feel like my life going no where

Should I rewind the time, the day, the month, the years?

To find where I have mistaken to say I love you

Why you, what have I done to make you go away?

I love you mama!

My head is confuse

I do not want to be the center life here

But what would I do without you around

Even during our fight you were telling me how much you love me

Mother wish I had never yelled at you

I love you mama!

My head is confuse

I do not want to live without you

There is no sense to live anymore

Who will hug me tight when I cry?

Who would just care that I live?

My life has just ended here today.

I love you mama!

If I tell you every minute

Would it make you live longer?

If I hug you close to my heart

Would you stay in my life forever?

Mother, mama, you are so precious to me.

Your daughter!

It is so important, every day to share the love we have for everyone.  Do not let go a day without saying it to your love one. And when illness come sneak like a thief in your life, please  slowly prepare every one, create souvenirs, share love.  It is so important to do so; we never know what would happen tomorrow.

    Wow! Quite emotional! I could actually weep, though I was told as a boy that boys do not weep. We must share the love we have for our family members and friends.

    So touching and we must treasure others now, yes while they are here. Good work here.

    Despite the fact that children can sometimes be a thorn in the flesh of their parents, time comes when they look back and appreciate their parents.
