Twelve weeks, three days. Day 89 in the quest to chase our little miracle
I thought I was okay.
I thought that I knew how to survive without her, and I thought that 16 years without a mum was enough time for the pain to heal and for the need of a mum to leave.
But I was wrong.
Through my tears and through my pain I uttered the four words I never imagined I would ever say out loud; I cried “I want my mum”
Sometimes, time just isn’t enough to heal the pain of losing someone you loved with everything that was inside of you, sometimes the pain stays with you, and sometimes through your hardships you learn that saying goodbye just isn’t enough. I thought that I was okay, but last year I learnt that sometimes you simply need a mum.
This year I can’t run for my mum, but my heart will race, and I will walk for her.
I will remember what I had, and I will remember all that I have, and I will gather my family, my friends, and any soul that understands my pain, and I will walk.
I will walk for the mother I lost, I will walk for all the women who lost their battles every day, and I will walk for all the pain I see in every daughter, every sister, in every mother, every partner, and in every family member or friend, that have to watch someone they know go through something so awful as breast cancer…
This year we walk to raise money for all the tears shed, and for all the souls out there who have had to say good bye to the one person they never thought they would.
Help save someone’s lifetime, and put a smile on a new mothers face.
Sponsor “We run for mum 2010”
In honour of Jenny Bowen 1954 – 1994
Last year my sister and I raised $3,618.00 for breast cancer by running the Mothers Day Classic fun… We joined together with friends and family to spread the word, and too let people know that there is something that we can do to help.
My sister and I suffered the loss of our mother 16 years ago and today I ask from the bottom of my heart for a donation, no matter how small…
