DD is almost 16 and has this evening gone off to her prom looking absolutely stunning.

This is the same girl who, just 5 years ago, laid in a hospital bed full of tubes and drains following major abdominal surgery to remove a huge tumour.

Tonight is her night, and a big ‘fuck you’ to cancer. I am so incredibly proud of her and how she’s recovered both mentally and physically. I thank my lucky stars each and every day that she survived.

How wonderful for her - she sounds amazing. And how wonderful that she had a mother who could bear her and your pain. Really.

I hope you DD has a fabulous time. Gush with Pride all you wish. 🥰

@chinateapot wishing your DD all the best Flowers

DeRigueurMortis · 08/07/2021 23:49

How lovely!

Can you post a picture of the dress (generic not with your DD) so we can imagine how wonderful she looked)

Can understand how proud and emotional you feel Grin

This post made me sad and happy at the same time! Hope she has a great time and a great life.
