We need CURE for the cancer... mere awareness is not enough .

Dear Aai, Words are not enough to describe how deeply we all miss you..The whole foundation of me being me seems to have shaken like never before.. It was tough to see you go away so soon.. Time and again, I feel such helpless loser that nothing more I could do to find a cure to stop that rampaging cancer. Now I realize how effortlessly you became the best mother a daughter could wish for. Your positive attitude, your zest for life and your deep empathy for others and above all wonderful memories of all we shared is what we are left with to carry on on with our lives. I wish I had your uncanny sense of knowing what I was feeling even when I was thousands of miles away. And to top it all off, your decision to donate your eyes... what an exemplary life you lived and we got to witness. In October, the World was celebrating Brest Cancer Awareness Month. It was tough to sit in the plane with pink clad crew when I had just lost you. ...symbolic gestures don't save life...Sadly, just being aware of cancer is not enough.. not by any means.. There needs to be a cure for it.. A solid treatment plan for all those who suffer from this dreaded disease. There is no other way around it. No life should become a mere statistical number in the billion/trillion dollar industry. No daughter should have to feel so helpless as I feel, in fighting and loosing their loved ones to cancer.. To have witnessed you handle adversity so bravely and cheerfully will inspire me throughout my entire life. We miss you and we miss you deeply. You would think it gets easier with time. It doesn't. I am just learning to hide it better. In me you live and your spirit I celebrate. ----------------------- No comments pl..
