I fought to keep my baby alive, I would do anything to have him back. The fact woman are just killing their babies like its nothing has me beyond words, there is nothing that could make me want to kill my child! I was depressed, I went through A LOT but the only thing I ever knew I wanted in life was my kids, the only thing I live for is my kids! Being that it is childhood cancer awareness month I wanted it known there are sooo many mothers fighting to keep thier babies alive, can we focus on them instead of the monsters killing theirs.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! There are so many amazing foundations you can donate to that help that journey easier on many families like my own. So much more research is needed! I will list a few places that helped us a lot, if you are able to donate I know personally they do great things!

Bubba got his first tattoo today, he will do another session to finish it on his first break back home. He goes off to college in 2 weeks! When he told me he wanted a tattoo in honor of Bear it made me so happy. 🥹 Brothers forever. 🧡 When people ask him "Why a Bear?" He will have plenty of stories and reasons why. 🧡
🥹 Came across this sweet video my Mom took on Bear's first day of Pre-K. I miss holding that little hand more than anyone will ever know, for 8 years that hand barely left mine... even the day of his funeral I held it until I couldn't. I miss those sweet kisses. The love we shared was beyond measure, I can't wait to see my little boy again one day. 🥹🧡
You are not just my son. You are the reason I know what unconditional love feels like. I will always see my little boy when he gives me that smile. 🥹
Bubba did it!! Class of 2026! College here he comes!
This is what my Mother's Day looked like this year. Seeing my big kids goof around, their laughs and smiles meant more than any materialistic gift. Im so proud to be their Mom, nothing makes me happier than my kids. 🥹

Bear fought a hard fight and lost to his tumor.
I hope other kids in the future don't have to fight so hard!
We need cures and more options for everyone!
