My mom starts chemo today and my prayer for her is pretty simple:
- Give her strength
- Keep germs and germie people away from her so that her body can focus on fighting one bad thing at a time
- Give her something special every day -- big or little -- that reminds her why she's putting up with this again
-
Please don't make her barf -- she hates that more than anything
And a special thanks for ...
- All of her wonderful friends
- Kisses from her grandchildren
- Her strong will -- we knew it would come in handy one day
- Those horrible chemicals that have allowed her to see both of her children marry, the birth of her first grandchild, to meet and play with her three grandchildren and which will allow her to see her fourth grandchild be born very, very soon
- Her unusual sense of humor and her willingness to laugh at her own jokes
