Missing your Mom...

Hello everyone. It's been a while that I haven't posted. A lot of things are going on with my life.
A family member of mine my Mom is seriously ill and I can't stop thinking about it. I also think that I'm not going to be 100% at work or in day-to-day life while my Mom gets through this illness. I know I can't deal with hiding or ignoring my Mom's diagnosis. But, I am being strong for myself, my dad and my brother and sisters and for her. I am very far away from my Mom. I am here in the States, and she's in Asia.
I am afraid and angry at the same time and how my life has changed. It's a serious illness, and it can be scary if you don't know for sure if she will get well or not, but it's not over. Miracles happen and I am optimistic with prayer she will be healed. God is in control. He has plans for each one of us. So having Faith in Him makes me stronger. I know and have read that, although some people do die from "C", many do not. More people are living with "C" today than ever before. In many cases, "C" treatment can cause a remission meaning, there are no more signds of the "C".
Sometimes, my friends wonder why I act strange. I wish they understood that, sometimes, I don't want to do what they're doing, I really want to be with my Mom. It has affected the whole family.
I really, really, really, really love my mother and my father as well. They have been married for 54 years and I was told that, my father cried and still in tears. I don't think I have ever heard my father so scared in my life when I spoke with him. He is a doctor. They are like lovebirds until now, like still going steady.
She 's the one who keeps the family together. A few days ago my eldest daughter texted me and said, she was crying because she wouldn't know what to do if she would pass away. My mother is a mentor, poised, dignified, sociable and being a doctors wife, she was exposed to dignitaries and elite individuals and, most of all she is sweet, beautiful and kind. It touched my heart, felt like a spear that went through it when my daughter texted me that message. It shows that, my Mom has touched my daughters heart in a way. And I felt so pleased about it. I texted back and said, keep the Faith and she will be alright and she replied, I Love You Dad, and take care.
So right now, I am in a state of uncertainty of what's going to happen, but I know, God is listening to our prayers.
So i say to all of you, "Love your Mother and Father for they have sacrificed a lot in raising you the best they can and enjoy them while they are still living"
