When you're used to being healthy and strong and vibrant and everything and then - bang - overnight you're desperately ill, it's frightening.

It's the moms of this nation - single, married, widowed - who really hold this country together. We're the mothers, we're the wives, we're the grandmothers, we're the big sisters, we're the little sisters, we're the daughters. You know it's true, don't you? You're the ones who always have to do a little more.

You just deal with the cards that are dealt you and you just go on and push forward.
