This morning my mom is doing chemo for the first time since we discovered her terminal stomach cancer on May 25th.

They gave her a few weeks to a few months at most..and I'm not ready to lose my mother. I'm 27 and I feel like my closest friend and only family member I can rely on is being torn away from me..

😞 she's really scared. I've seen her grapple with it for months now. We're scared. My 20-month-old baby girl adores her nana...and she's been the only consistent family member in her life outside me and her daddy.

This is such a hard day..whenever she's been in hospital, we can't visit and it took such a major toll on their relationship...they still adore each other, but the quarantine took away so much of the closeness they had.

I can't even explain how destroyed I feel.
