Today is my wedding anniversary my husband has always been my rock and it is a fact that throughout our 12 years of marriage has been my side helping me deal with all mums operations and chemo for bowel cancer. But it has never been harder than it is right now. He has stood by me morally and financially whilst I followed my dreams to university to do my nursing training. Hopefully I can pay him back in so many ways when I qualify and get a job (hopefully). I know, despite how uncomfortable she is and the fact that she has so much to deal with, when the postman comes there will be a card from mum and dad. I have kept all cards from them to us all over recent years, cherished each signature and shed a few tears as I have opened each one hoping that it is not the last.
On our wedding day I remember mum was devestated as the day before she had heard a friend had died from cancer. Still she put on her best bib and tucker came to the hairdressers and supported me through the day. She painted on her smile and was so proud. But that's just the kind of gal she is.
