ϟ My Shero (female hero).

One of my sheroes in my life is my Mama Virgie. My Papa Celso and her were not able to have children so all of their nieces and nephews were like their children to them. She took care of us all and nurtured us as if we were her own.

For as long as I could remember, my Mama Virgie had been fighting a horrible disease. Breast cancer tried to eat her alive, but she fought and fought every single day of her life. There was never a day that Mama Virgie gave up.

Yesterday, on New Years Eve, my shero passed away. As much as it hurt to know she is gone, what hurt the most was having to see her suffer every day. Sitting there bedside holding her hand and having to watch her slip away more and more each day was what hurt the most. The fact that we couldn’t do anything else for her, that’s what hurt the most.

My Shero fought her last fight yesterday afternoon. She may be gone physically, but her spirit will forever be with my family and I.

Mama Virgie, may you finally rest in peace. I love you so much and you will be missed.
