I sat in church this morning watching a remembrance video of the 10 yr mark for 9/11 in nyc. The day stunned us all, we all knew where we were at that moment, remember the new flashes and stood in awe of the american distruction. A year after 9/11 in ny, I sat with family and friends in a hospital in atlanta ga, pleading with butter flies in my stomach to save my mother's life from kidney cancer. It is a day I will never forget-ever. It was a day that we all sat on the edge of our seats waiting for the doctors to come bring us the news...will she be cancer free, or was the cancer outside of her kidney.
I was a 21 year old girl sitting in the room with all these friends and family i knew...they all meant so much to us. But, as we all know. There is no one like our moms. The moment I will never forget- the elevators opened as the doctor came in to speak to my dad and I. He starting going through the details of the surgery- my dad quickly said- "doc, did you get it all?" He said the words I still rejoice with- "It was only in her one kidney- the one we took out." I had nothing to hold back- so I leap on him with a huge hug...then my dad said- well i guess i'll give you a hug too! We were so thankful, rejoicing for the goodness God always gives.
