Mom, Don’t Skip!

Birth, childhood, adolescence … these three stages are part of the lives of all people on this Earth. But, despite this, there is a difference, which for me, is obvious.  Man and Woman. Regardless of religions and cultures, Women remain a person who possess inexplicable gifts, and only women know their secrets.  Women transform into a friend, a wife, a little girl, a mother and, perhaps for some, a grandmother. But deep down it’s always the same.

(I’d like to take a little break, just to indicate that I’m a teenager who’s approaching her 15th birthday and is still learning life from both her parents.)

A girl, or even a woman, has and will always need her mother, in good times and bad. A mother herself will always need to feel her child close to her, both physically and mentally. A woman also has this constant need to feel beautiful for her husband, or her family, or even for herself. Feeling good about herself.

Women possess this femininity in them, a sweetness, a sensuality, which can be seen in a simple glance.

A woman should not be afraid to lose the love of her loved ones, her children, her husband because they love what she has in her, who she is in her heart. This is what breast cancer can cause.

A woman’s breasts have several roles in a life, they have that of desire, but they are also,  a sign of motherhood. They’re part of the woman.

Everyone knows cancer.  Unfortunately it affects a lot of women in their breasts. It can remove a part of us, or even kill us. For centuries and centuries, women have fought for equality. Even in 2020, all women have to fight, all their lives, but also just to stay alive.  Health is one of the main characteristics. So, even if you can get some bad news, don’t skip or delay a medical appointment that could save your life. An appointment to allow you to stay even longer with your loved ones.

If cancer can kill you, then you too can do it! Maybe you’re going to get tired, you’re going to get a lot of pain. But, never forget that you will be loved and surrounded from start to finish! The tunnel may be long, but a tunnel is never endless. You have to fight!

In 2015, I was the 10-year-old girl who saw her mother suffer, lose hair, her breasts … but she never gave up. I would have liked her to make that appointment before the cancer got bigger, but she didn’t. I tell myself that she would be have suffered less….. and with less losses. We can’t change the past, we can only improve the future, that’s what she has done and continues to do.

My father, sister and I were just devastated. We were afraid it would never end. My mother got rid of it because we were a family and she did everything she could to wipe out this cancer.

At times when Mom felt good during her treatment, she would pick me up from school. She came to walk with us in town. I was so afraid that she would feel observed, judged. I was so afraid that the others around her would laugh at her. I think I would have jumped on anyone who would have dared  to make fun of her.

At home, we had this need to make her eat, and only things she liked. We always mad sure she felt as comfortable as possible. I was like a protector with her.

Today she is a strong woman, fulfilled, happy and above all, who has once again regained this femininity, this sweetness, this sensuality.

You have to take the lead and I have just one conclusion… DON’T SKIP …
