    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Lily - 11 years old

I know it might seem impossible at the time but 4 years on I'm still going strong.

My mum died when I was 7 with blood cancer. I'm 11 now and I just started high school. I'm going to a grammar school and it was my mums dream for me to go there as well, as my mum dying. My Nana has it for the 3rd time and she's 64. I know this is a really short story compare to others but I want you all to know you CAN get through this. I know it might seem impossible at the time but 4 years on I'm still going strong. Don't think about the sad times. Think about how proud you will be making them now. I know my mum will be incredibly proud of what I have achieved and became and I'm sure you will be making your mum or dad or anyone proud - I promise you xxx
