Chopping carrots for our Sunday pot roast, my mind wandered to the news that Stuart Scott, a longtime ESPN Sportscaster, had passed away from cancer at the age of 49. Too young to die. Whenever I hear of someone passing away from cancer, and at such a young age, my mind goes to my Mom. She was 31 when she lost her battle to cancer, I was 15. I have more memories of her being sick, than well. My heart goes out to Stuart's daughters and his family. I pray they remember all the good times, and not so much the sick.
I don't remember Mommy ever cooking carrots. I wonder if she liked them.
Cancer sucks ya'll.
I am always so moved by stories of your mom ( I was 16, almost 17, when I had my daughter too).
