I am searching for a poem that I can have matted and framed to thank a friend of my mothers who has come to help during her time on hospice. She is willing to do anything, to talk, listen, clean, cook, help care for my mother. I don't think I could do it alone. I would like to present this to her after my mothers services with a picture of my mother and her together. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have done a few searches but not found what the right poem as of yet. Thanks, Jessie

I am new to this discussion board. My mother was diagnosed with small cell lung ca in June, 2004. She has been through numerous courses of chemo, as well as gamma knife to the brain, and radiation to the lung. The cancer is still spreading and is now in her lymph system. She has chosen (which I completely support) to not continue any further treatment because it will only prolong the inevitable. My mother lives with me and my 2 children. Up until this point, I have not told them, and I need to know what to say. Theyare 7 and 4. The doctor has said it is month to month. I am going to move her bedroom downstairs next week because she is getting weaker. Any advice would be appreciated.
