About two weeks ago, on 19th of April, heaven gained an angel: Mary. My host mom, my second mom, as I like to call her, lost her battle against cancer.
The day I left America I hugged Mary for the last time, hoping it wouldn't be the last one. But it was. Cancer won. Cancer took away a loving grand-mother, a great mother and a wonderful woman from her family and friends. I still can't believe that she's gone. Gone forever. But I know that one day I will meet her again.
It took me about a week to realise that I will never hear her beautiful voice or her laugh ever again but I will keep all our great memories we had together in my heart.
She might be gone but she will always have a special place in my heart.
Not only did she teach me to have faith in everything I do, she also taught me that every day is a blessing. She gave so much and had a great heart. She helped everyone and never said no to anyone in need.
"Live every day like it's your last."
The night before she died I had a really weird dream: I was sitting next to Mary, crying and telling her that she will never see my children grow up or that she won't be able to come to my wedding. Her answer made me cry even more: "Don't worry, I'll be always be with you." I never knew a dream could be this real. Anyway, when I woke up I heard the shocking news.. All I could think of was: "She's in a better place now and will always watch over us."
What I have to say about cancer: Screw you and I hope you have to suffer the same way you make millions of people suffer each and every day!

Mary, I love you so much and I will never forget you!
In Memory
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you,
the day God took you home.
If tears could build a stairway,
and heartaches make a lane,
we'd walk our way to heaven,
and bring you back again.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still,
in our hearts you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
Shannon ♥
Hallo Shannon
AntwortenLöschenHalte Mary in Deinem Herzen und Sie wird immer bei Dir sein. Du bist jetzt sehr traurig und must den Schmerz verarbeiten. Aber mit der Zeit wird es besser und dann erinnerst Du Dich all der schönen Momente die Deine Gastmum Dir geschenkt hat und was sie Dir alles gegeben hat.
Lebe Dein Leben so, das Deine Eltern und Mary stolz auf Dich sein können. Denn das hätte Deine Gastmum sich gewünscht. Und sei tapfer so wie es bestimmt auch Deine Gastmum war.
Teil Deinen Schmerz über den Verlust mit Personen die Dir nahestehen und schäm Dich nicht evtl. Tränen denn Sie zeigen nur wie sehr Du geliebt hast.
Ich hab meinen Dad auch an den Krebs verloren als ich jung war, daher weiß ich in ungefähr wie es Dir nun geht.
Aber die alte Weisheit stimmt: Zeit heilt alle Wunden und Du bist jung und hast das Leben noch vor Dir. Also zeig Mary das Du Dein Leben toll meistern wirst.
In Gedanken bei Dir.
