Like we all burst out laughing and crying and we're snot crying and like our mom's with us.
That's like that's who she was.
this sort of prognosis after that, or what was the timeline?
Yeah, so the doctors came in and they explained that it was, they explained it as grade four glioblastoma, which the average survival was around six months, and I think they said the longest someone had survived, I think I remember it was around five years.
So I spent a few more days at home after surgery and just would not leave her side.
She lived 15 months after diagnosis.
She was diagnosed July of 2003.
She passed away October 26th of 2004.
But while I was home, we had a lot of just really special time together.
One of the things we did was actually go through old home videos.
Like, you know, we had these like Betamax videos.
I don't know if you remember these like old home videos.
Went through them and just we did like all the things that you would, you know, want to do.
