College move in day

Moving in my only daughter to SHSU where she will be starting her studies in Pre nursing classes. I’m so proud of her for wanting to follow in my footsteps. It more excited she will understand my diagnosis and be able to help me when I’m at the end of my journey to take the weight off my husband. Not that I’m wishing for her to experience the inevitable but I will be glad it’s her by my side helping the family understand what is happening to me. It’s bittersweet watching her leave my nest and go out exploring on her own. I will miss knowing she is tucked away safe in her room at night just a flight of stairs away. I will miss the jibber jabber and countless hours of talking only she could do. I will even miss the attitude which seems weird. She’s growing into herself and finding her way. She’s becoming the woman she wants to be. She’s been through so much in her short 18 years and I’m hoping to see what happens these next 18 years as she becomes a nurse, if that’s what she chooses, a wife and a mother someday. I pray she never has to experience breast cancer like me. I know she will always worry and I pray too she can find peace. I pray I get to see my grand babies from all my children and go on trips and travel. I pray cancer doesn’t take me down too fast and I can enjoy my life instead of worry about the next scan or next spot. I’m just so proud right now of my two oldest children for going to college and I know cancer can not take this emotion from me!
