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

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2021 23:54

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