Everyday Hero: Lisa M.

Submitted by over 4 years ago.

Lisa was a mom who lived on our street. Everyone loved her, and had a lot of respect for her. She had two boys and a husband. She lived everyday to its fullest and always had a smile on. Then one day she found out that she had breast cancer. It took her by surprise, but she kept on living...she had a family to live for. She went through chemo, radiation; and she even went to Mexico for a treatment that was not in the U.S. yet. Unfortunately none of it worked, and she got weaker and weaker everyday. Through it all, though, Lisa had a smile and was always positive. Everyone in the neighborhood was cheering for her. We all knew if you needed help or a smile, Lisa was the one to go to. Lisa is my hero because through all of her pain she kept a smile and a positive attitude.

I love people with amazing attitude and positive like Lisa. Don't give up something people love about you like Lisa. She had an amazing smile and positive attitude she didn't give up.

Growing up as a kid with sickle cell anemia, I literally lived half of my life in the hospital's cancer center. I saw a lot of kids go through cancer constantly traveling in and out of the hospital. Some of the friends that I met along the way lived, and some of them we're not so fortunate...I miss those kids everyday. They were also so positive and happy just like Lisa. I'm very sorry, I know how you must feel. I'll keep you and Lisa in my prayers.
