HER BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER

My precious Nettle Poodle

She had been fighting hard against this cancer when this picture was taken.  Never missed her Chemo, Radiation or doctor appointments. She took all the medicines that were prescribed for her. Drank plenty of water and ate the right foods to keep up her energy.  As I sat across from her in this picture I noticed that she would doze off every now and then. She would be in the middle of a sentence and then she would close her eyes and not say anything else.  I knew it was the heavy pain medications that made her that way.  My poor mija, she suffered so very much.  Never giving up and always taking care of her children. We would cry together and I would hold her in my arms.  She told me plenty of times how much she loved me.  We watched old movies and cozy up with some of her soft blankets on her couch.  Jeannette was so loving towards me.  She always wanted me with her.  I was there to comfort her and to help her in anyway I could.  Well, it's been two years since she died but it seems like just yesterday.  It's almost midnight and I had to get up and write this because sometimes I just can't sleep just thinking about her.  I better try right now because tomorrow is going to be very busy at work and I need to be alert.   I love my Nettle.
