my mama was diagnosed with cancer. she had lung cancer and i couldn't believe it when she found out by her doctor. chrissy was here to console me. i guess you can say she knew what i was going through because her mama was slowly dying and going through something as well. there is a possibly my mama could live through this but cancer is cancer. and all i pray is that she makes a full recovery.

mama begs to be cremated if she does pass but i won't hear of it. thinking about burning my mother to ashes doesn't seem like a great idea to me whatsoever.

"it's not right, being cremated" i told her. thinking of the idea of her passing broke my heart. chrissy was with me as i talked to my mama. i hate that she was now going through this.

"it's just not right. and besides, you shouldn't even be thinking about death. there's still a chance you could live. you're a fighter mama"

she rested her hand on mine from across the table. "honey i'm sure everything is fine. you don't need to worry about me" she had a warm smile behind her face but i could tell it was fake. behind that smile was pain and brokenness. i think i can say that my mamas been through more shit than anybody i've ever known.

"don't you two girls got plans? enough talk about me i want y'all to have fun" her hand was shooing was away but i hated leaving her alone.

it was true. me and chrissy did have plans to go out for the day and hang out but now i was starting to second guess it a little.

"look if you want to reschedule because you wanna be with yo mama, i understand" chrissy smiled.

"no it's alright. we've been planning a girl day like this for awhile. i'll be okay" i said as we walked out the door. we got in her car and made our way to great america.

me and chrissy spent our time going on rides and eating. i mean that's what you do there anyways right? the fun slide was my favorite. i loved the adrenaline rushed as i went down the bumpy slide.

after going on a few slides and roller coasters we went to go and grab some pretzels with cheese. it was so cheesy and so good, salty and soft. we sat down somewhere and got to talking.

"you and anthony doing okay?" chrissy asked me biting into her pretzel.

"better than ever. he's really sweet and has kept his word by changing hisself"

we'll see how long it can last though...

"i'm so proud of you girl. you're glowing!" she dipped the pretzel into her cheese cup. i smiled to myself. life was getting a little less rocky. i haven't seen tyler since that day he last hit me or kept in contact with cameron. but i do still fear that they will come after me.

chrissy dropped me off at me and anthonys house. as usual the key was left under the mat so i went to pick it up and open the door. when i walked in, anthony was sitting on the sofa. he looked over at me and smiled. i sat down beside him on the sofa.

he put his arm around me and we watched some tv together for a couple of hours before heading to bed and calling it a night.

god, i pray that you watch over my mama and make she sure make it through... amen.
