Hi everyone. I am using a fake name because I don't want you all feeling badly for me. I need your help. Please.
This year has been a horrible one for me but I seem to keep smiling somehow. I think now I'm losing my hope. Here's the scoop. FH and I got engaged in Dec. last year. That's the good part. Then my dad and FH both got menengitus within 2 months of one another starting in February this year and almost died. They are both fine now but gosh what a horrible couple of months. In the middle of them both being sick, I was diagnosed with melanoma and told I can't be in the sun anymore which is my favorite thing to do. So I have to change my lifestyle..Oh well things could be worse (which i'm finding out unfortunately.) Now this past weekend, my mom who had breast cancer 3 years ago was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer. They think the breast cancer came back and metastesized into the brain from the lung. That's best case scenario because they can treat the breast cancer if that's all it is. If it's lung cancer that went to the brain it is much more serious. I can't believe this is happening. My dilemma of course is do I move the wedding up or do I hope for the best and keep it over the summer 2005. My mom and I discussed it and she wants me to keep it where it is. She is hopeful that they can treat her but my family and I are not so sure. I know it will upset her if I move it but I want her to be there. I can't fathom having a wedding without my mother there. Am I being selfish by wanting to move it up and have her there? Will it make her feel worse if I move it up? Will it make her feel like I think she is dying? But what if she is? Oh i'm sorry its so long but I just don't know what to do. I'm DONE with this year already..It's been nothing but heartache. Thanks for listening all. I hope no one ever has to make this decision.

I am SO sorry for your loss! I know how it is to not have a parent at your wedding. I lost my father many years ago, but on my wedding day my photogragher was able to get a pic of me and my step dad that did show me(but not others) that my dad was there for me! I wish you happier times a head! I fm you about the pic! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family !

I am so sorry for what you are going through. You have truly been tested this year. You and your family are in my prayers.
I say the most important is to have your wedding with the people that you love the most involved. If that means having a small wedding ASAP, than why not? If it's okay with your FH, then make that a plan, talk to your Mom and say that she's the most special person in the world, and that what you all need right now is a little celebration and your wedding is exactly the thing.

I am soo sorry!
I know how much that hurts! My mom died on 11/4/04! If you ever need a shoulder to cry on please let me know! Even though we really dont know each other, it sometimes helps to have someone who understands where you are coming from to cry to!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family!!

I am so sorry to hear. I actually am crying right now, after reading your post. Know that she will always be with you and that you did all that you could for her. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of need.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you don't want our pity, but when you feel comfortable, I hope you will tell us who you are. You have probably developed some online friendships with some girls here who would like to help and be a friend.
In the length of this thread, we have watched you struggle with a decision and now actually lose your mother. If you need us, shout out. We're all here and no one thinks of you as a pity case.
May you and your family be comforted as best as possible during this difficult time.

This is the saddest thing I have ever read on here. I'm so sorry for your loss ... your strength is simply humbling. I wish you the happiest day filled with all good memories of your mom whenever it is you do get married. I'm sure she'd want that.
