Dear Sonia,
The times you got discouraged, the times you were really feeling down.
Those times were to be expected. You just needed your friends around.
You couldn’t always just dwell on your illness, or worry all night and day.... See More
You needed smiles and laughter, and then you really seemed to be okay.
You knew how many loved you and how we all needed you in our lives.
But you had to let go and let God, who ultimately decides who survives.
You had always been a fighter, someone I admire and will always adore.
You lived life to the fullest, even when your body fought the cancer war.
Your doctors used their weapons one by one, trying to keep you from dying.
You tried to concentrate on living; not ready for morbid thoughts and crying.
I knew you must have been very frightened. I knew the chemo made you weak.
You had hopes of how it would cure you, and made it your mantra, so to speak.
You had so much more to feel, and more to do, on this our beautiful planet Earth.
Like traveling the world, being loved and appreciated, and living for all it’s worth.
When you died, everyone knew about it, even the many who had gone on before.
I’m sure your friends, loved ones, and your Dad were fighting to give you a tour.
Now you’re at peace in heaven. No more “ beast” or more pain to suffer through.
For me and the others you had to leave behind, nothing is the same without you!
I will always love and miss you Son!
Love forever,
Barbara
