Mother's Day thought...

So, I know a lot of moms complain that they don't get what they want for Mother's Day. All I can say is that I feel really blessed to have such a wonderful family. It may sound trite, but all I want is a happy, healthy family. Therefore, even though I am sitting here at work on Mother's Day, you will not hear one complaint from me. I see these cancer patients come in for chemo and YES! EVEN SOME OF THEM ARE MOMS. I don't think this is how they want to spend their Mother's Day, but yet here they are, getting poison injected into their bodies. One patient stands out in particular to me. She is a 29 yr old single mom of a 3 yr old with metastatic melanoma (even spreading to her brain). I can't imagine being so young, having a little one and dealing with such a prognosis. I feel so lucky to have everything I have in life and I can't wait to go home and spend my first Mother's Day with Gavin and his Daddy. Happy Mother's Day everyone!!
