For Chery aka Momma C,

Starbuck8 aka Starby and I have been talking about doing this for a while, so here it goes. Chery, we hope you don't mind.

As many of you may know, Chery has terminal cancer, and she’s recently taken a turn for the worse.

Chery has been a member of AMHD for many years; she is a wonderful person, a great listener, and a great problem solver.

Chery is always there when she’s needed, call on her and she comes running, ready to give a hug, a kind word, whatever is needed. Now she needs us, she needs our support during this difficult trial.

What can I say about Momma C, there’s so much to say. She is everything rolled in to one, and I, for one, consider myself blessed because she is my friend.

Tears are running down my cheeks as I’m writing this, I don’t know what to say, how to describe someone who is indescribable?

I know that all of you want to give her the support that she’s always given to us on AMHD. It’s our turn to give a shoulder, to lend an ear, to be there for our wonderful Momma C.

Hopefully you are all allot more eloquent than I am.

Chery, all I can say is this, I love you dear, you have made such a big difference in my life. I’ve never seen you face to face, never held your hand, never gave you a real bear hug, but that doesn’t matter. I see your heart every time you write something on this site. I see your soul when you talk to us. You are an angel on earth, a bona fide angel, and you are loved.

......and one (or I'm imagining probably at least two) from Alberta, Canada! Alex is going to have one heck of a collection I think!

Chery

Thanks so much, send as many as you want to, I'd love it, and yes, Alex will probably have the biggest collection in the world for a young fella of his age.

I'm so glad you also liked this idea - so send them from anywhere - the more, the merrier!.


I'm so excited and can't wait already....

I have to admit up front and admit that I have not read any of this post other than the first page. And I am so sorry I have missed this thread until now.

Cher....You have been such a strong and courageous woman for the two years that I have known you. You have perservered an enormous amount of weight on your shoulders, yet you stayed strong and hopeful.

I remember the day that Alexander (Peanut) was born. You e-mailed me with such pride. I remember when your daughter e-mailed me with the news of your stroke. That was around Thanksgiving, and look how far you have come. You came home when we didn't even know if you would survive.

You are my angel in spirit, you are my light in the tunnel, you are the definition of strength.

I stand behind CBW in saying that we love you. No matter what happens, when or where, please know that we love you.

PS: Please haunt me.

If I may, I would like to borrow from J9's statement. If ever there were a haunting, I would want it to be you Momma C!! You would kick the crap outta the rest, and put them in their place!!

So that is what you are going to do with those scouts right? Kick some A$$!! I know you will!!

Chery,
Both pics are beautiful!
The pic of your grandson touching your face is one of those candid moments that I personally cherish the most.
I'm so happy you have that moment captured forever along with the many others that you are putting together for your grandson.
I agree with everyone else who has posted on this thread, you are an amazing, strong woman whose advice and comforting words have helped so many.
Feel better soon, and if you're really wanting some postcards, then expect one from me too!!!

This song is dedicated to you my sweet Momma C. I'm sure I am speaking on behalf of all of your AMHD children on this one!!! Here's to you, and all of the things you have taught us all!!
