"The most challenging thing I've ever faced was getting over the loss of my mother. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and was sick for a long time, but then it went into remission. When it came back, she didn't tell anybody because she didn't want to be operated on again. On his deathbed, my stepfather made me promise to stay with her and take care of her, so my children and I moved into the house after he died. We were a happy family, and she and I became even closer than we had been before. She gave me a lot of motherly wisdom, and when things troubled me, she would tell me to pray. She always said she wanted to live long enough to see my son graduate from high school, but she didn't make it. On that last day, the last time I saw her, she told me she loved me and I told her I loved her too. She was my best friend."
