“Supporting the fighter, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken, and never, ever giving up hope.” The quote speaks a lot just by reading it, but now I’m going to explain, what the quote means to me! Lucille was a fighter against non-Hodgkin lymphoma at about 40 years old, she also got ovarian cancer later on when she was about 58 years old or so. Lucille admired all people who were fighting any kind of cancer or who had just won against cancer. I honor her because though times got tough she always was strong and positive, she never wanted people to acknowledge her being weak. Finally hope, hope is all we had when Lucille was fighting cancer, Lucille didn’t have hope she had determination on fighting cancer and winning against it.
People ask what is non-Hodgkins lymphoma and Ovarian cancer? Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the condition occurs when the body produces too many abnormal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell and Ovarian cancer is often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and belly. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and can be fatal. Lucille died of Ovarian cancer at age 66 in 2014, she had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for 22 years. Fighting for your life is hard, I should know, I watch her everyday for years fighting for her life, whether it was her taking treatment or just being excused. Lucille taught me if you want something, or you want to succeed at something you must fight for it, even though you may end up failing but at least you fought for it.
I admired Lucille for her dedication to fighting but also her life. Lucille was someone everyone admired, she had such a fulfilling heart. She was there for you when you needed her at your lowest times, there to teach you your mistakes but mostly there to share your achievements and unbelievably happy times in life. Lucille was someone who was always running, through she was always busy, she was never to busy for her family. She was a hard worker and never missed a day of work, she admired though’s who won against cancer, admired those who was fighting when she was alive and probably still admiring those who still are fighting for there’s lives. Lucille was never a selfish woman, that mostly why I admire her so strongly.
Honoring those who have helped raise you, taught you almost everything you know and mostly caring for you no matter what mistake you had made. I didn’t honor her I love her as if she was my own parent. Lucille honored those who took care of her at her loneliest times, her weakest times but mostly her time in almost death. She honored me though she never was ever able to tell me that, I knew she did, I was like 13 years old when she was going through this, I helped her everyday for about a month or more, taking care of her, helping her, praying she wasn’t dying on me. I honored those who took care of her, tried to keep her alive, but I also honored her for fighting as love as she did, cause that pain was probably killing her inside.
Lucille’s family hoped she lived longer than she did, losing her was extremely hard, definitely since when she had passed the family and friends, Lucille had grew apart. For me losing her, it was like losing a parent, or a part of myself, I hope she lived until I was old because she had so much more things to teach me in life. Lucille may have not won against cancer but she definitely won in life, she lived a full, successful life, she had family and friends who loved her.
She was my role model, my best friend but definitely my parent in many ways. Before she had died, she said "I love you and I'm happy I got to be apart of your life."
I said back "I'm so happy you got to raise me, somewhat and teach me the ways of life even though I have so much more to learn.
I realized that life is to short, so live your life to the fullest...Every second of your life, just treasure it., cause you never know when it will end.
