I feel pretty fortunate in my life when reading some of these incredibly sad stories. I think the toughest thing I ever had to do was to console my mom who didn't know if she had breast cancer or not. For the first time in my life, my mom was just a person who was scared and needed support.
Thankfully, she didn't have breast cancer but seeing vulnerability in your parents makes you realize they aren't superhuman and could die like any one of us. It made me appreciate them that much more.
