Staying Strong; Needing Eachther.

A strong woman. Very strong. She is in a battle, a tough, thriving battle. The battle seems to be a war. The battle spoken of, is cancer.

Nobody truly knows how scared she is. She seems to be so strong, like nothing can hold her back. Shes afraid of death; leaving her child. She needs to survive. Her child needs to be strong. The child, a girl, is very scared too. She needs her mother.

This child is living with her grandmother, in her own house.
She is constantly fighting tears, with a fake, painted smile on her face. Awaiting the return home of her mother.
