I know that cancer is indiscriminate, I know that there is no clear reason why some people seem to get more than their share of heartache, but today again I find myself asking the one question that none of us can answer - Why?
Yesterday a family friend died, after a long valient battle against stomach cancer. She has fought long and hard to stop cancer from winning, but yesterday her journey ended. She has 2 children aged only 9 and 12 and I cannot begin to comprehend the devastation that her death has brought to them. So once again, I find myself asking the question why? I ask not for myself, but for those two lovely children.
I am 40 and I miss my mum desperately. These young innocent children should have been nurtured in their mothers arms for many years to come. She was a very brave determined woman, we were not close friends although I admired her deeply ( we were mums together, sitting on the sidelines on a Sunday, watching their children play handball together in my husbands team) and the hurt I feel today is not for myself but for her beautiful family. My heart goes out to them . RIP Fiona , a truly inspirational woman.xx
