Dear Mom
Dear Mom,
That day was the scariest day of my life.
I remember that word
Cancer.
It meant my world was crashing
Down around me
And nothing would be the same.
I wish I knew just what that meant.
That I’d be here now
That my future would be all about cancer
And helping
And so lucky that you’re right there
Cheering me on
And telling me that it’s okay
To use that scary time
To inspire my future
Thank you, Mom.
I hope I make you proud, Mom.
I love you, Mom.
Love,
Your future Oncology Social Worker.
