Priceless: My Mom~ A Video and Cancer Healing Update

I love my mom more than words could ever express. She is such an amazingly inspirational woman. She has such strength and character I could never find fault in who she is, well except maybe she doesn’t rest enough LOL. Anyways, a few weeks ago she had her LAST chemo treatment (Praise the Lord). Two days after it she was preaching at my home church (in Florida) at their women’s conference and the theme of this years conference was “Priceless” and you know that is just what she is to me.
So I grabbed some of these pictures from the conference account to make a little video to her, just to share with the world this woman who inspires me to better every day of my life. Below the video I will have a little more to say with an update of where she is at in her Cancer Healing. I don’t say journey because by His stripes we were healed and that is what she is….HEALED..so I speak of her Cancer Healing process. Now onto the video:

When I say this woman is amazing that isn’t even doing her justice. She is the one who has always been my best friend. She is there for me to laugh with me when I do one of the many dingy things that she herself would do. There for me when someone has treated me bad or when I am going through a tough time and just need to cry. She is there to pray when I feel like I can’t go on. She is there to encourage me when I am feeling helpless and lost. She is there to tell me it’s okay when I have screwed up and to say “Great job” when I have accomplished something.
This woman sacrificed so much to provide for me when I was growing up and I took it for granted. Looking back I was a spoiled little snot but now I can say if it weren’t for her sacrifices I would have done without many of the things I had. She was my rock and still is to this day. If there is ever any human to model yourself after I can say without any hesitation it would be this woman. Does she mess up ever, sure she is human, but more often than not she is the one you will see helping others. She is the one who will put her needs aside to make sure someone else’s is met. I am so inspired by her strength and love.
For those of you keeping up with her “Cancer Healing”, as noted above, she has finished her chemo treatments completely. She is not about a week into her radiation treatments. She has to have 5 a week, for the next 5.5 weeks (well 4.5 now). And she is still just as strong as she was when she started. I am utterly amazed at this woman. In fact she is one of the very few who gained weight during treatment which is a great thing because she didn’t have any to lose LOL, this is obviously who I take after in the body department. She got the long body, I got the long legs 🙂
Mom, because you loved me I am who I am and for that I will be forever grateful. You taught me to stand up for what is right. To treat others with respect and to forgive those who have wronged me. To give it my all no matter what I am doing and know that when I do it will always end up alright. I can’t wait to see you in July and eat some yummo Thai food with you. More than that I can’t wait until we get to live there permanently so we can lunch and shop together. I love you more than I can ever express and I hope that all my readers can get a feel of the wonderful person you are through reading about you. If even they can get a glimpse of who you are through this post then they have had a little something extra added to their lives.
Please leave a comment in the comment of this area to my mom, so i can send her over here to read it one day.

    Toni you are a blessing to my life. I thank God daily for you and your family. You are my favorite #1 "oldest" daughter, of course I have my favorite #2 & #3 daughters Charity & Destiny also. God has blessed Joey and I with great kids. I can't forget Caleb, he's my favorite son. Well he is my only son. (Psalms 127:3 says that "Children are an inheritance from the Lord. They are a reward from Him.") Boy did God give me the best reward ever, at times I feel sorry for others because I got the "BEST"! Love Mom

    Any daughter reading this is most likely tearing up and smiling. Any mother reading this is doing the same. Coming from both sides – that has to be the sweetest tribute to your mother. What an honor. She truly is blessed to have you as her daughter, and likewise you are to have her as your mom.

    Such strength and inspiration in your family. I love it. And all the best in the healing process to your mom.

    Hello Toni,
    What you wrote touched my heart. Your mother is an amazing woman, mother and friend.
    As a child She was a friend to me when I didn’t have many friends. Today I consider her my best friend and I love her as much as I do my own sisters.
    I believe she is already healed, God just needs to convince the doctors.

    I hope she knows just how much she is loved by me and a day doesn’t go by when I don’t think of her. She is the one I call when I need urgent prayer. Honey, that woman has a direct line to the throne room of God!!!!!
    I hope that I have made at least half the impact on my children as she has on you. She did do a wonderful job in raising you. Yes, Rhonda is an AMAZING woman!!!
    I Love You, Mittye
