My Hero Is…My Mom
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something
bigger than oneself -
Joseph Campbell
My
mom is a hero because she would risk her life for the family. She is strong and
trustworthy. If you don’t believe in heroes, you have never met my mom. She is
absolutely amazing and I love her. She is able to help keep a roof over my head
and keep food on the table. But she is also fun and great to be around. Some of
her hobbies are shopping, and trust me, she’s good at it. My mom fits the
criteria of a hero and this blog is going to tell you why.
Those
are not the only awesome things about her though. My mom is a breast cancer
survivor. She is went through radiation and now she is fully recovered. She is
back doing all of the things that she enjoys and she is stronger than ever. Our
whole family would support her. Only a handful of people in the world survive
cancer and I am so thankful that my mom was one of them.
She
said to me that she felt the safest at home with the family and the first
person that she would go to for support, she would go to my dad. She is
confident and proud. She said to me that that best part about having cancer is
beating it, to have such a harsh thing that is harming you, and to beat it,
feels amazing.
I
learned a lot from my mom and how she felt through the process of curing
cancer. I learned that it is not about having cancer, but beating it. She wants
to give as much support to those who have cancer as possible. Once again I am
very grateful to have her here, because of her strength and confidence.
