For all 6 people on tengaged who actually know me anymore
I've been away for about a month. I've been busy with school and college stuff and a family crisis
My mom was admitted to the hospital on December 30th, my parents anniversary, and was informed that the cancer that started off three years ago as ovarian cancer had spread to her bones and she had only a few months left to live.
The next day my father was informed that the situation had escalated and they'd be surprised if she lived a few more weeks.
My sister and I were with our family at a wedding and were completely in the dark on all this besides that my mom would be spending the night in the hospital.
When we got back my dad informed us that they were doing a treatment on her to try to reduce the pain she was in, but she had a few hours left to a few days left. 3 days later my mother passed away from recurring ovarian cancer.
My birthday month of September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month and that teal ribbon is the color for ovarian cancer, sort of like how pink is the color of the ribbon for breast cancer.
Currently I'm in the process of looking for a tattoo that implements that ribbon symbol to have tattooed over my heart, a promise my mother and I made to each other that we would do once she beat cancer and went back into remission. I've decided that I'm going to keep that promise to her and get that tattoo so I will always have my mother over my heart.
Thank you to all the support I've gotten from everyone over the last few years as my family has gone through this, specifically K4r4kChristossss and BB5Lover (I hope your mother's doing well, I remember she was fighting a similar battle)
If anybody on tengaged is a tattoo artist, or just really artsy in general and wants to help me with the design for this tattoo I'd appreciate that since I'm not artsy at all and I know nothing about tattoos.
ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG TENGAGEDERS OUT THERE:
Don't waste your time on here. It's not worth it. I spent so many hours of my childhood on this silly website in its prime. It's truly a waste now. Be with your family. Get to know things that happened in their life, and hear some great stories. All the gifts and stars wins in the world mean nothing in comparison to time with your family in the long run
R.I.P Mom. Cancer beat your body, but it can never beat your spirit. Optimistic until the end

I'm sorry billy, that tattoo idea is really nice though, hope you've been doing well, youre a strong kid, stay strong :)
I lost my dad suddenly with no warning so know what you are going through. I think about my dad everyday. Life certainly makes you put things in perspective. Life is too short to worry about all the little things.
rocker917 I almost cried reading this, I'm so unbelievably sorry for your loss... I couldn't imagine losing my mother - absolutely heartbreaking and I can't even fathom what you and your family must be going through
if you ever need anyone to talk to or if you ever want a League buddy to play with (if you still even play that) we can play or chat anytime, I don't know you but I'm here for you
