My name is Liam and I am 10 months old. My YaYa is helping me to honor my Mama who is 30 years old & was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was pregnant. Even though my Mama was really sick with debilitating headaches, temporary vision loss & extreme nausea, she continued to work, care for my Daddy, family, friends & find joy in the anticipation of her first child, me! When I was 4 months old Mama had a craniotomy to remove as much of the yucky tumor as possible. After surgery Mama insisted she be discharged quickly because she wanted to be home to feed & snuggle me. She is the strongest Mama Bear! I’m so blessed God chose her for me. Yes, Mama will require additional treatment but she chooses everyday to not let cancer define her & is so thankful & appreciative of her many blessings. She is truly “Keeping the Faith” & approaches each day with grace & resiliency. Everyone says I look just like her on the outside, I pray that I’m just like her on the inside too! I love you Mama xo
