This is the story about the strongest woman i know, my mother, and her fight with Leukemia. Read her story, her strength and read all the love that is shown from family and friends that loved her so and miss her every day we can't see her. Close your eyes, you can feel her. #ReynasFight

Subject: RE: REPORTANDOME
Querida ginny, imagino el día tan largo como de 32 horas, he estado aquí en paz, por la mañana en oración y despues en meditación, tratando de estar presente con Ustedes y de despedirme de Reyna. Curiosamente en estos meses nos despedimos varias veces, en dic. cuando se fue el día quince, yo le di la Bendición, Ella se sentía tan mal. Después la despedida en Detroit, que nos dimos nuevamente Bendiciones. Por la mañana la llene de Luz, y trate de imaginarla, quería ver sus manos, ya que las cuidaba mucho y eran manos muy bellas. Estoy lejos y mi corazón lo tengo cerca de cada uno de Ustedes. Beso para todos. Mil Bendiciones, las de Reyna, las de mi Mamá y las mías, los quiero. M.L:
Querida Familia, quiero platicarles de la misa del viernes para Reyna. Yo se que para Ella era importante el sentirse acompañada y querida, les digo quienes vinieron. LOS QUIERO A TODOS

happy birthday mom: Feb 17, 2013
we miss you everyday- happy birthday Mom 2-17-2013
Posted Feb 25, 2013 10:04am
The month of February is the month of my mother's birth February
17 1944.
I know that so many of you miss her and I would love to hear from you this month in memory of her. Do you have a memory you would like to share in memory of Reyna, please share your memories of her today.
My memory: my eyes swell when I miss you and my heart burns still at the pain of your physical presence missing. My soul was gone for a while after you left, but the time since you left has given me a chance to grow and find out who i really am. I've never understood what it meant to grieve, to really feel pain to the depth of my entire being. To cry rolled up in a ball by myself until nothing more could be expelled from my body. I learned that crying was good and necessary. I learned to love everything more and everyone while i had them in my midst. To not take things for granted and to let myself hurt for as long and as often as I need to. The pain of losing someone you love is inexplicable unless you have experienced it, it leaves a hole that cannot be filled, ever. But it also is an experience that is a learning not just for me, but also a learning i can share with my boys. I do not hide my pain, it's transluscent. The boys now know what it looks like to grieve and to be sad, they have also felt the pain at a different level. I want them to know and understand every step that i have gone through and to know that life is simply this way. We are not here forever, and that one day we all will take the path to a different place. My pain has allowed me to grow, to be so alone that I never thought alone-ness would leave me. She continues to teach me everyday even without physically being here. Moving through the phases of grieve of life, i continue to learn and grow. I know that my pain will always remain, because i want her here with me selfishly, but i also know that all she wants is happiness for us and to do what's good and right while we are here. I know that she would want the same for everyone she loved and cared for, her family, her friends. you. She was a beautiful woman and i'm glad she was my mother and i know each of you share a special feeling for her as well- today i miss her and this month i miss her and ever day until i'm with her, i will miss her but she still is the light of my life that shines the path to do good- and i will do that while i'm here and teach my children who she was and what she stood for.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful beautiful person,my mother.
You are missed, never forgotten. We know you are orchestrating wonderful things for us when our time comes. I miss you with my whole heart.
Love you with all of me-ginny

December 17, 2011: 1 Year
A year ago on December 18 2010...
Posted Dec 17, 2011 5:52pm
A year ago tomorrow on Dec 18, 2010 my mom was diagnosed with
Acute Myloid Leukemia- there isn't one day that goes by that we
don't think of her.
Today, i ask that you write one funny or joyful memory you have of my mother. It is amazing how much I have learned about her through you. Stories I never heard of before, things she did I never knew about- through your stories my mother continues to surprise me with how beautiful she was and what a caring and wonderful person she was. My dad just said to me today, she will make us all better people, to do good things and I already know that to be true.
Take a moment to share a story or two or three... in memory of her.
I love you all,
Ginny

My mom passed away at 3:10PM on Thursday April 28, 2011.She passed in peace and in no pain. She passed being conscious and with the ability to hear us all say goodbye. She left us all ok. We are sad and have pain, but she left us very peacefully.
I promise each of you, when I see you, I will tell you how beautiful it was. I promise because she would want everyone who could not be there to know. And she wants you all to know that she is fine now, and she wants you all to know that my dad will be ok. My mom asked my dad to promise this before she left, and he did.
Allot of beautiful things happened up until the very end. My mom fought hard to the last second of her last breath. She fought for me, my brothers, my dad, her grandchildren, her brothers and sisters, her friends, all of you, every single one of you, until the end.
She loved you all so so much and she wanted me to tell you this- so just know that your Reyna, my mom is at peace now and in no pain.
all my love to you, Ginny
P.S. I promised my mom, that because she has not been allowed to receive any of your flowers while she has been sick ;( BUT SHE CAN RECEIVE THEM NOW. I promised her, that her celebration would be perfect as she wanted it and already planned it. And I promised her it would be full of color with the most beautiful flowers. Please send them for her. Also remember that my mom died of a disease that is incurable. And we are also asking , if you are able, that donations can be made to the LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA FOUNDATION OF MICHIGAN.
If you are able- she would love to see you and celebrate with us.
I'm asking that you wear colors if possible. She loved colors. She would like that.

My mom is dying.
Her organs are shutting down now and she is on her way to Heaven. She has e-coli rifling through her body and it cannot be killed. She has pnemonia.
She has had her last rights.
Pray now.
Anyone who is within a half hour away, is welcome to come say Goodbye, as you can imagine, we have a full room and its okay- so if you can, get in your cars now and come to say goodbye. She hears us, her eye movements tell us she hears us. So drive now.
pray for my mom, and we will be with her again, soon. In a better place.

I've been up since Monday with my Mom- I'm trying to sleep, we
all are trying, but its difficult to leave her side for an
instant.
We are waiting to hear with the team of doctor's. The nurse was in on a meeting they had, and have told us that they want to have a family meeting to discuss my mom's condition. The nurse told us that things are not improving for my mom, they are worsening now.
They are worsening because the bacteria that has exploded within her body, her blood, is still growing, even after being on antibiotics. They continue to adjust them according to the type of bacteria they are finding, its just that it continues to grow regardless of the antibiotics. This is not a good indication that she can improve.
Now her kidneys are showing signs of failure and her cardiac output is getting worse, not better.
It kills me and pains me as I write this to even write it. BUT I KNOW you all are in desperation to know of a update and I know my mom would want me to tell you- so I'm writing this to you in the utmost pain and tears. However, what we now have to do and this is obvious, is to begin to prepare.
To prepare to release my mother in the manner in which she wants.
My mother has told us exactly what she wants - she wanted assistance breathing with a tube, she has told us that she even wants her heart to be shocked if that is necessary to bring her back. She has told us directly, that she won't go down without a fight.
She has told us that even she has even a partial chance and percentage, to do all that can be done for her to survive. This is my mom. Her love for us and life and will to live. We will grant every wish.
We have not talked to the doctor's but the nurse has told us they they will be telling us to begin to prepare to say goodbye and as much as it pains me to let her go or even think of it, we are going to hope and pray for a miracle and the decision of the family regardless of statistics and science, is to let the will of her body, mind soul and the Lord Jesus Christ to decide.
We are not giving up hope for my mom. and we will do all that is possible for her if she's in no pain and if she is not suffering.
I'm here to support her, I'm strong to support my father and my brothers and I know that this is now in God's hands and He will decide, no one else.
Pray for a miracle of healing for my Mom. This is now between her and God. But she's fighting, she's has shown us this, and we know that if anyone in this world that can come out of this .. it's Reyna Cheslick.
