I want you to know

**My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago, I finally allowed myself to write this..

Mommy, I can't even tell you,
how much I want to cry.
I'm so scared to leave you,
fearing time will pass by.

I want to hug you,
and make all the pain go away.
But that just won't happen,
the cancer chose you as its prey.

I just don't understand,
I don't think I ever will.
You were always perfect,
and suddenly you're ill.

You're only 33,
you still have so much to live for.
So why is God calling,
practically knocking at our door?

Shannon still needs you.
She is only nine.
We can't grow up without you,
you are our last life-line.

Yet you tell me,
everything will be okay.
But that doesn't sooth my worries,
what if your not here the next day?

I don't want to let you go,
I love you way too much.
I don't think I could handle a day,
without your adoring touch.

Just the thought of you leaving,
brings tears into my eyes.
I don't want to think about the day,
we must say our last good-byes.

But I want you to know,
that we will make it through,
and if one day you have to leave,
I will never forget you.
