Fault in her stars
Hi I'm Mrs Lancaster, Hazel Grace Lancaster's mum. My daughter Hazel was diagnosed with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer in her lungs when she was about 13 that was just over 3 years ago she is now 16 nearly 17. There are times when I have thought my daughter was going to pass away but thank god she is still fighting.
Lately Hazel has been very depressed she is on all sorts of medication but her docters suggested that she join a local support group. She has been going a few weeks now; she doesn't like it from what shes told me but something tells me it will be good for her in the long run. He last session was today she really didn't want to go but she went anyway. It made me feel so sad seeing her walk towards the church(were the meetings were) with the oxygen tank wheeling along behind. I wish my girl had it better but I suppose we are all given a different life and I suppose Hazel's was one of the hard ones. I reached into my bag and pulled out my laptop. I'm training to be a family support worker you see; to support family's going through similar things to us.
After support group had finished I saw Hazel come out with a nice looking young boy, I didn't really recognise him but it seemed like they were having a nice chat and I love seeing Hazel making friends since she doesn't really go out much anymore. I saw her and the boy coming over to me and I shut my laptop and sliped it back in my bag, I opened the car door.
Hazel: " Mom is it ok if I go back to Augustus's house".
Me: " Yeah sure, how come".
Hazel: " Oh were just going to watch a movie".
Me: " Ok just be back by 10pm".
Hazel: " Sure, love you".
Me: "Love you too".
I watched her walk off with Augustus towards his car he must be about 17 if he could drive; she looked happy I hadn't seen her smile like that for a long time. When she was happy I felt happy, but that's the way parents are suppose to feel… aren't they.
