Mother
Every thing was going well. But, unfortunately her tests were about to turn her world on it's head, forcing her to make a decision no mothers should ever have to face.

Doctor was told that her cancer had spread to her body. It was critical stage. Urgent treatment was needed to save her life, that meant she should abort her baby immediately and start the treatment that could save her life.

"We should do chemotherapy immediately." Doctor said.

"Please doctor, don't do this. My baby should grow. If we do this it will harm my baby." She begged.

"Madam please understand us. If we don't do this, if the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, various other symptoms can develop. You will die." Doctor tried to explain.

"Never mind doctor. I need my baby. I would die if I delayed treatment?"

"It will be"

"However I can't abort. I already feel a bond with my baby."

She had made decision in continuing the pregnancy.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

She became increasingly ill. As more and more her hair started to fall out. She suffered severe headaches and she was unable to walk more than a few steps.

She wrote the letters often blinded by tears for her unborn baby, telling how much she loved her.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Nine months after baby was born, safe and well. She was very happy.

"What if I did abort? Oh no. . . ."
She hugged baby and started to cry.

Within a three months of giving birth, she died.

She sacrificed her life for baby.



moral:
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. Always love your Mother because you will never get another & Appreciate her, You never know what sacrifices she went through for you."
