Celebrate the Good Days
It was in April of what seemed to be a great year. I was in fourth grade with the greatest teacher, Miss De Rosear — the coolest teacher.
I had just come home from school to find Mom at home. That was because she never arrived home before me. Mom was sitting on the sofa with Dad. A thousand terrible things started flashing through my mind. What if Grandma had passed away? I did not have the to say goodbye. What if my brother was hurt? As I crawled (爬) up on the sofa next to Mom, she gave me a kiss and a huge smile, so I and went on with my normal after-school activities. During the TV show
that I always watched after school, Mom started getting phone calls. The calls continued for the rest of the night. Each time the rang, Mom rushed to her room. I then knew that something bad had happened.
When Mom came back, I asked, ―Mom, why do you keep on the room every time you get a phone call?
She turned to my sister and me and said, ―Girls, I have something to tell you. I have cancer (癌症).
As she said that I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I was thinking, ―Why is God taking my mom from me so soon? What have I done?
I didn’t know that we were just beginning a very long, journey.
The next day on the bus I turned to my friend, Kate. ―My mom…
That was all I could say before I started crying. Kate gave me a big hug and said , ―I know, and I’m here for you.
I knew that Kate would support me.
During the summer, Mom stayed home. On the good days, sister and I talked about what we were going to do next day, week, month, or year with . We never talked about losing her.
We got from many different people. When school started again, Mom had to have surgery (手术). I stayed with one of my teachers, Mrs. Stephens. Mrs. Stephens made me rainbow French toast. She was always there for me with a smile, a
hug, or ―it will be okay advice.
On April 5, my mom became a five-year survivor (幸存者). When that day came, we had a big party. Friends came from far and wide to celebrate how Mom is and her success against cancer!
There will be good days and bad days — some more bad than good. But as I have learned from my mother, celebrate the good days!
