IT HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE

It happened all at once for me on Mothers Day of 2008.  She arrived in Fresno looking like a million bucks.  Stunning and Beautiful.  Yes, it was my Jeannette and she was eager to spend time with me, her mom and that special day.  We all packed into her SUV and headed to Valentines restaurant to eat a big breakfast.  It was the whole family which included Diana, Daniel, Ashlee, Bianca, Christian, Jacob, Maria and Nicholas. 

She received a disturbing phone call right in the middle of her meal.  It was her co-worker.  She informed Jeannette that her boss had died.  Needless to say, Jeannette was upset and I tried to calm her down.  We went outside and I talked to her and told her to focus on all the good times she shared with her boss and that he was in Heaven.  She calmed down a bit and we went inside to finish our meal.  She didn't eat much after that.

It was in the parking lot when she told her sister Diana, that I wanted her to see a doctor as soon as possible due to a lump on her upper right side of her chest.  Diana felt the lump and she said, "Yes, Jeannette, go see a doctor fast."  We didn't want to scare her anymore so we all got back into the car and headed to Diana's house.  We hanged out watching movies, laughing and just enjoying each other's company.  Then Jeannette headed back home.  Before she left she hugged me especially tight and promised me she would see a different doctor because she had already gone to Kaiser and the doctors there told her it was a pectoral muscle inflamed and that she was too young for a mammogram. 

Next day is when all hell broke loose.  Everything happened all at once. 

I am actually surprised I haven't had a heart attack from all this.  Loosing my daughter is the most devastating thing that could have ever happened to me.
