I never thought I'd be broken in a million pieces, never to see my Sweet Daughter's face again, but it has happened, and I strive every second of my life to keep her Legacy alive. At 21, we found out Cheyenne had Leukemia. Only those who have had this happen to their child, can know that feeling of hearing those words. Here was a young woman, that excelled in everything she tried--karate, ice skating, electronics, photography,ballet, an excellant equestrian, jumping her horses in show, even trailering her horses, now it was all gone. She was so brave, not wanting me to worry, but the pain of seeing your Baby Girl going through all the Chemo, pnumonia, her long beautiful hair falling out, the absolute PAIN from the treatments, was too much to bear. Holding her the last minutes of her life, not wanting to let go, but knowing she was ready to meet her Lord.
Even now, I relive those minutes every second I breathe. All she wanted to do, was to help other children with Cancer. She believed God would let her do that. But He chose to have her do it another way. Angry? YES, so angery He took my Baby. But she is helping reach other people from the other side. THIS is her Legacy. Everyone who reads her story, it touches them. A story of courage, a Daughter & Mother's Love that reaches beyond the Realm. Death cannot tear apart. She is always near, sending me signs.
