Sue,
Your post put a huge smile on my face. Thank you!
I am so thrilled to hear your Mother is responding to her treatment. I am also thrilled to hear the strength in your post.

I remember when I was dx and having my treatments my son was still in college at the time. Just know you have already given your mother a huge gift, by attending school and doing what you have to do.
She knows how difficult these times are for you.

A gift my son gave to me that I still treasure to this day
was a jar filled with personal small notes of special things he appreciated and loves about me.
He mentioned all sorts of things from early childhood up to his college days..and young manhood. I still open the notes and read them as they are so very special and dear to me. Oh, of course also include your beautiful smile.

You are a strong loving daughter...
I wish you great sucess in your fall term.

Warmly,
Jean
