In 2012
Colin, 6 years son of Cheryl, was diagnostic with leukemia; the same year her
father died from ALS. In 2013 her house flooded and they lost everything.
Finally in 2014 she was diagnosticated with breast cancer.
Tim Smith a
photojournalist asked if he could document the family’s story. Cheryl thought
that the two can’t survive but she hoped that her son can.
Smith was
there for the treatments, surgeries and the worst days after the treatments.
Cheryl said
that they try to focus on the little moments which make them happy. For encourage
herself her looking in the mirror and tearing up. Her son says that she is beautiful.
Cheryl
decline when she is alone, at night but she has her friends who help and
encourage her a lot.
In 2015
Cheryl has been declared cancer-free and Collin will hopefully be cleared of
his leukemic in October. Now they can have a normal live.
Smith keeps
closely in touch with Cleryl and her kind and he want to be with Collin in
October.
Opinion
I choose
this news because you know I live more or less everyday with that and because
for me the strength of this woman is
incredible. Is very unfair that some families have to live with that and they
have to accept and be prepared for everything because this illness is very
sensible.
The worst
part I think is see somebody that you love a lot has to suffer like that and
you feel very powerless because you cannot do anything. I hope that one day the
medicine found a cure.
