A heartfelt tribute to the woman who not only birthed me, but also became the cornerstone of my career path, my dear mother. Recently, we said our last goodbyes to her after a brave battle with the aggressive clear cell uterine cancer. Her journey is a testament to her resilience - from the initial diagnosis in 2012 to the multiple treatments, periods of remission and relapse. It's a journey that took us to the sunny state of Florida, and introduced us to the invaluable medical team at the Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville. 

With the passing of my mother, I am reminded of the immense gratitude I bear for hospice care, specifically the team at Community Hospice in St Augustine, Florida, who were there for my mother until the very end. They provided the comfort we needed during those challenging times. The treatments she underwent - chemotherapy, radiation, and biologics like Ketruda and Lmvima - were a bittersweet rollercoaster of emotions. I dedicate this episode to her strength, her courage, and the indomitable spirit that inspired me to pursue nursing. So, if you still have the chance, hug your mom for me today and every day.
