this woman here is Stephanie Gay Tyler and she is my mama! not only that, but today she finished her radiation on a spinal fissure! she got to ring the bell, hell yeah!!

my mom has been living with a form of incurable cancer, Multiple Myeloma, for over 11 years. it has been a journey with many tears, many close calls, many hospital stays, many moments of terrifying news, and rare moments of “hey this treatment is working!” until a year later it doesn’t. mama has gone from being 5’10 to being 5’2 due to her bones turning to swiss cheese and compressing due to this disease. at the moment, my mama is one of a handful of people alive to have had this cancer and survived for this long. yes that is SCARY. and i worry so much for how every year impacts her and her health.
.

half of the reason i go to therapy is to process this - how having doctors say in 2007 that mama wouldn’t make it to my college graduation in 2013.. i’ve been processing the potential loss of my best friend since a young age. no one is prepared for this, and while i transitioned, i shouldered a heavy guilt that i was hurting my mom while she was already hurting.
.
.
that couldn’t be further from the truth. we are closer now as a family than ever before. and although these last few years have been progressively harder, our family remains optimistic. y’all wonder where i get my optimism from? this lady right here!

also, i wish my mom had made my middle name Gay. i would’ve kept it ? .
