May.
It's a month of birds, blossoms, and beautiful weather.
It's a month of new growths.
The world gets a little brighter in May.
For us, May is a month of celebrations.
May 5th...my beautiful mother's birthday.
May 5th...coincidentally the day I graduate from Auburn University.
May 10...sweet baby Baye's 1st birthday.
May 12...Mother's day.
May 21..the day our little Madison graduates high school.
I guess you can say it's a big month for us.
With all of the celebration comes a little bit of sadness.
My mother's battle with cancer has not been an easy fight.
She is tired, but she is so strong.
She has been receiving weekly chemo treatments for the past several months.
Chemo, as most of you know, drains you.
It's complicated because it helps you and hurts you all at the same time.
Fights the good along with the bad.
It has been a major challenge to fight the side effects of chemo while fighting cancer for my mother.
They've tried different medicines, given her new medicines...
all the medicines...
no results.
Her chemo has not currently proved to be effective in any other way except for making her more sick at this time.
While the doctors are doing what they can to find a drug that works for her, I am asking everyone to please remember my mother and the battle she faces on a daily basis.
Please pray for her strength to fight and her body to heal.
We need prayers now more than ever.
