Apr 2023

on Groundhog's Day in 2006 from glio blastoma, inoperable stage four cancer. She also had ms, and she knew her ms treatments, back then, probably caused her cancer. By the time she got her final mri, doctor said, she had 5 to 6 weeks. She died 5 weeks later. I miss her everyday still and especially on Groundhogs' Day. I taught 2nd grade, I was always aware of her up coming death anniversary. She was only 4 years older than me, but she really was more of a mother to me than our actual mom. I light candles for her every Feb.2 and on her birthday in Dec. At least her death anniversary is not a hellacious event, I miss her her too. I am so sorry for your loss and pain.
