Sarah from Florida

Her name was Shawna, or Mom. I just wanted so badly to give her my energy. We had so much accomplished; so much to be had together. The breath of life is something never to be taken for granted. One day here, gone the next. It is scary how quickly it all happened. We were planning our annual cruise. We always have switched between Mexico and the Bahamas when she got sick. Just coughing, sweats, everything. Upon he doctor visit, she had stage 4 cancer, which we thought might be treatable. Unfortunately, the breath of life holds for not for a single soul, and she passed within the same month. My mom, while still alive, relied heavily on the AARP benefits, membership, just flat out communication, and during her last few weeks, spent time with people from here daily, and I am forever blessed.
While my 3M bestfriend is no longer with us, I take solace that I feel a piece of her through everyday actions, and now knowing that there is still this community helps so much. T
