Saturday Morning

It's Saturday morning in Fresno again.  Another day is here without Jeannette.  I look at her picture and wonder why did she have to leave this earth.  She had everything going for her.  A family that she adored.  An active military life, a beautiful home and cars, etc.  The monster demon of cancer came knocking at her door.  It wouldn't leave no matter how much we all begged it to go away.  It entered her right breast like a speeding bullet.  No chemo, no radiation therapy could make it go away.  The pain meds almost took the pain away.  She cried out to me.  "Mama, I need you here with me."
