During mom’s initial days of cancer treatment, amongst dozens of medical appointments and scans, I tried my best to participate in day-to-day life, but was unable to be in a 'normal' way. Some days I'd just lay on the floor because that is all the strength I had. Her diagnosis challenged me physically, mentally and emotionally but then my mom didn’t take her “Mom” hat away! She helped us deal with her disease by being a Mom to us 🥲❤️

Mom, I want you to know: You are loved beyond your scars and insecurities. You are perfect. Cancer and your identity get tangled up so quickly – it becomes too strenuous to breathe as you choke down your fears, tears, your needs, your dreams. 

Those battle wounds are imprinted on your body … not your heart! You are a new creation, let the old fall away … grow! You have all you need … you are rich beyond belief! You are a priceless one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

I see the beauty in you and all that you encompass. You are a queen.

Give yourself grace! Laugh at yourself, talk with yourself, giggle at people who say the most crazy stuff about cancer, walk away when you feel you need to. Ask for help – and don’t be afraid to get specific, like ABC123 specific! Scream, get mad, cry, sleep – do it all. 

Remember who you are and whom you are. We love you so much ❤️🥲 Sending kisses and hugs to you this World Cancer Day 🌸

PS : This picture immediately after her 4th Chemo in Apollo hospitals. She completed 27 chemos till date 🥲 ❤️
