The life of a mother.
Today I listened to the story of a person that, even though I told myself I would not cry, made my tears come out unintentionally.
She was telling her personal story about her mother, one of those women we all know. Those who dedicate themselves to their children and their husband to always give them the best of themselves, those who keep quiet about their pains and sorrows of the day so as not to sadden their family and let them be happy.
Her mother would say to her daughter "Today dinner is at 7pm, try to be on time" to which her daughter would reply...
"No mom, today I have a meeting with friends, I won't be early. Better luck next time"
The mother told the son not to be late because dinner would be served at 7pm. To which the son replied...
"Mother, I can't come early because I have a meeting for a soccer game with my friends, let's try that tomorrow."
The mother just had to tell her husband to remember to come early, today dinner is at 7pm. To which her husband said...
"Today I have a meeting with some businessmen in a restaurant, don't wait for me for dinner, it's better to try tomorrow".
Like any good mother, she dined alone that night and for the next 15 days. Her husband could not accompany her to the dinners and neither could her children... and at the end of those 15 days she died.
She suffered alone from a fatal cancer, this mother only wanted to talk to her children in her last days without giving them any worries, the doctor told them after her death that when she found out about the disease there was nothing to do and she only took medications that allowed her to be calm, to hide her pain a little with her family during her last days.
She died and did not share with her children, and now they are all at home at dinner time to mourn her absence.
That is why I told you that I did not want to cry with this story because we know that the details that our loved ones have with us we should not underestimate them because we do not know if there will be a tomorrow with them.
I hope you celebrate life with your loved ones my friends. Thank you for your votes, comments and visits.

Oh no.. i guess if I have cancer i will be vocal about it to my children and family so they'll be aware...
Sorry for the mother if this was a true story
