I came back to my hometown when I heard my 82 year old Mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Kidney Cancer. She had the 8 cm tumor and her left kidney removed on May 20th. The surgery went well and she was home from the hospital within 4 days. That afternoon she went outside in the backyard to check on her garden. She likes to see how the lemons are coming along. She has inspired me with her fortitude and ability to see the good in each day.
