A day we wait

I can't help but write a few words expressing to my mom how much I love her! Today is a day that we sit and wait while my mother is in a 6 hour surgery for breast cancer. Knowing I can't be there has been really hard. My mother has been such a healthy women. As a mother when your children are sick or you know something is not right you want more than anything to take a way there pain as I sit and watch my mom face this there is nothing more I want then to take a way her fear and pain from this.
My parents got divorced when I was 7,My mom raised 5 kids on her own while also getting a nursing degree to support us. my sisters all decided to leave home at an early age and for while it was just my brother and me, he served a mission then got married so it was just me and my mom. However, She did get remarried to the sweetest man on earth who is more of a father to me than my real one will ever be...
My mom has become such a STRONG women, I mean when she turned 60 she jumped out of an airplane, she travels all over and gets to see so many wonderful things, she is a very determined person and sometimes can't show her feelings as well as she would like and I know that is because for so many years she had to put her feelings on the back burner to take care of us! So mom I am saying this to you, all these years we have leaned on you for food,comfort,shelter & love... It is now your turn to lean on us!
The Lord has a way of making us stronger even when we feel so weak, sometimes all we have is our Faith and prayers and letting the Lord just carry our burdens and fears, I love you mom and can't wait to hug you ..........Until then know that we are with you.
