Long, rough road

My life-partner's mother was diagnosed last year with a terminal cancer. She was given two months to live. Sadly, she passed away last week. She lived 9 months and three days past her date of diagnosis. She will be greatly missed, but I am greatful for the time I was able to spend with her while she was still with us. While we had those nine months to prepare for this - it has been one of the hardest times for both of us to deal with. She was the most wonderful and most caring person you could ever meet. She was loved by everyone who knew her.
