On June 17, 2001, three days before my High School graduation, my older sister, Nicole passed away of a Glioblastoma grade IV brain tumor. She was 23.
When she was rushed to the hospital, they had told us that if we didn't bring her in right away she would have died within the hour. They gave her six months max.
At that time her son, Jacob, was 3. She battled for two years with this disease, and did it with the most strength I have ever seen in a person.
She always had a smile on her face, even when half her face was paralyzed. I regret so much about the things I did and didn't do when she was sick. I was afraid, and the outcome was me pulling myself away from her. I have never regretting anything more in my entire life.
Through her 2 years of battling, her body slowly began to deteriate. We tried the latest surgeries that were new to the medical community, but nothing worked. It was time to let go, and still she was the person holding us up.
Her son is now 7 and lives with us as the father was never around. He has never known his father and the memory of his mother is slipping away. Yet, everyday I look at him, i see so much of her and it makes me smile.
I have wanted to do something to help raise money for this cause but could never figure anything out, nor volunteer much because there really aren't many events to raise money. I know that these bracelets are really trendy right now with people, so I am trying raise money by selling them.
If you are interesting in buying one or donating money, you can contact me at saramdennis@yahoo.com , or go directly to the A.B.T.A. website at [link] (http://hope.abta.org/site/PageServer)
I am trying to put together a series of pictures including these bracelets. Hopefully i can sell the prints and give all the proceeds to the organization.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this story, as it is a hard one to tell.
Rest in Peace "skittles".
