Something nobody told me before coming to St.Jude is that you will gain a whole new family. Last week when my daughter went back home I didn’t want to be alone, another mom I had been talking to online her daughter was in scans. So she let me cry and have lunch with me.
Another Mom always talks over treatment with me since her daughter has a different cancer but same chemo treatments. It always helps to know what to expect.
Another Mom who is also from brought me a little cloth when I first got here and It is sits in my backpack and goes everywhere with us.
And sometimes I am the shoulder to lean on, to vent to. to talk with. And that Is perfectly fine with me!
No matter how I am feeling or what I need, there is always another Mom or Dad that is willing to help or listen. Also I am always willing to be there for them.
I don’t think Hudson and I could get through this period of life without our new family. and I know there are so many others that feel the same way
I heard a mom tell another the other day “You will have life long sisters”
and I believe that is true 🙂
God says we are all brothers and sister in Christ, and we are all from different walks of life. But I am glad that there are others on the same path and we can lean on each other.
“For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:35
