Happy Mother's Day!!!.........This can be a difficult time for some of us who no longer have our mothers with us.  My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 29, I was 6 and my sister was 7.  Unfortunately, the cancer was advanced and terminal when diagnosed.  Because of our young ages we were not told much about the cancer so what type of breast cancer we never knew except that it had spread to multiple locations in her body.  Mom fought a good fight but died on February 5, 1973, three days after turning 33. 

This is a photo of Mom in the early 70's, she was very creative, sewed her own clothes and would try any DIY project from the women's magazines.
