My mother
passed away on December 23, 2006
after a three year battle with
colorectal cancer **. We shared a
home for nearly twenty years. Mom
was my best friend, my rock, my icon
and I miss her every single day. She
lived life in a way that at times
had me holding my breath, all the
while wondering if I would ever find
her courage and joie de vivre. She
was phenomenal and in recognition of
that I have added the passage to the
right
**
Overall, colorectal cancer is the
second leading cause of death from
Cancer. It affects men and women in
almost equal numbers. For more
information about this form of
cancer see

Excerpt from Phenomenal Woman
(By
Maya Angelou) |
|
I walk into
a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
