Praise god!!!...I just can't get back to my day since coming onto this site to find out about brain cancer.

You they say that everything happens for a reason, last new years me & my girls got dressed up for this big nite out that we had been planning forever. just before we leave the whole of oneside of my friends dress ripes, now were going mad thinking that we are gonna miss the clock strike 12, it took us 40 mins or more to fix that dress to her and get her out the door, but you know what we missed an accident that was on route to where we going that happened around the sametime we would have been in that spot.

mummy is around or stayed around cos she needed to makesure her work was done, she needed to know that her family were strong enough to go on without her.

I don't go church but my god I more than believe in the big man, because I know he ain't giving me more than I can deal with and the same for you.

Stay strong & blessed and even if she is not here with us no more remember happy times, her cooking the dinner, cos no one can't cook like mummy, the cussing that she gives cos no one can't cuss like mummy, but more that anything, that she showed you the way forward in life and made you know you are a reppin her in whatever you do, so make sure you don't her down, cos you don't know what will happen when you see her again!
