I’d like to keep my comments to a minimum because I don’t want to take away how amazing the world can be and more importantly the power of love that is obvious between mother and daughter (see below). Also, I feel kind of selfish; after I get the honor of writing the name of someone like Paulette on my shoes and literally feeling lofted the instant my feet hit the pavement just does not seem fair. Paulette, my next race this weekend at Oceanside 70.3 is dedicated not only to your strength and purpose, but also Sheryl who is equally amazing! Your love is contagious!
Sheryl: “My mom has always been my ROCK!! It was always her and I growing up!!! At times in my life she has given me everything she has had to provide for me. She is the most loving, giving, caring person that I know. She is the kind of woman who has love in her heart for everyone and has never said an unkind word about anyone. My mom's diagnosis seriously was unexpected and out left field. One day she is perfect and then stage 4 Ovarian. She has been so positive about her diagnosis. She has never once said anything negative about it. She is always so worried about my happiness and me and would never want me to hear anything that would make me unhappy or feel sad. I honestly don't know another person like her!! She has been such a good example to me. I don't think that in my lifetime I will ever be able to be that great!! My mom is a fighter!!! She has been through Chemo.. She never once complained! I thought I would be able to take care of her but instead she was wiping away my tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. She is trying a breast cancer drug now to stop the female hormones. It was actually helping for a few months but she went in for her monthly checkup and her tumor markers are up again. She is having another scan soon. I can only hope for the best. She has impacted so many people in her life with her positive attitude, love and compassion.. She is my best friend. I am honored that she is my Mother!!!
Sheryl W.”
