Some time ago, Angel got me hooked on this group called My Chemical Romance. In time, I found a song called Cancer. When I looked up the words, this is what I found.
Cancer
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
With those words up there, I cry when I hear the song because it reminds me so much of what my mom went through when she was suffering from breast cancer. I know through those words how she was feeling during her final days. I just hope that she wasn't suffering too much knowing that we would be ok. I know she is in a better place now, but it is just hard hearing exactly how she must have felt going through it at the time when we really didn't have any radical treatments like we have today just 18 years later.
Now for the video!!!!
I found this on YouTube, so I hope it isn't too pixely!!!
I will post more later!
