Twenty-One Days in May: Standing Tall, Book Two Kindle Edition

by Jacqui Tam (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

When MARY LOUISE BARRON called her daughter on May 5th to share the news that she had just been diagnosed with cancer and would be having surgery the following week, she insisted she would still travel to her grandson’s university graduation in early June. But she never made that trip, losing her fight with the disease just twenty-one days later.

In this novella-length companion to her award-winning A Daughter’s Gift, Jacqui shares what unfolded over that heartbreaking three-week period, using those twenty-one days to bring into focus the character, courage, and strength of the woman who had meant so much to so many… and the mother whose example, expectations, and strength had been critical in driving her daughter to try always to live up…

To the measure of that remarkable woman.

This book about a mother and daughter's last days together touched my heart. Both women faced the circumstances with honor and so much dignity. Unfortunately, I was unable to be with my mom on her last days but reading this memoir actually was a comfort. This is Ms. Tam's second book, the first chronicled her dad's battle with Alzheimer's, along with her Mom's role as caregiver. I will read that one soon as I would love to "know" more about Jacqui & her mom Mary. Jacqui wrote "Twenty-One Days in May: Standing Tall, Book Two in a tender non melodramatic manner.

I read this in one sitting toward the end of my own 21 days in May and found healing from sharing a similar experience with a stranger 12 years later. Thank you for sharing your story and your mom's story. You pinpointed my feelings exactly, and I highlighted for reference to return to those phrases that will get me through this time.

When it was good, it was very good. Some passages were outstanding. Much of the time it was murky and hard to follow, I thought. It can be read in a few days which is good if you have reading goals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Each one of our lives has been touched by cancer

Each one of our lives has been touched by cancer. It is not always a family member. It can be a community member or a teacher or friend. In this case, this is an account written by a cancer survivor about her mother and an aggressive cancer that played out quickly. This is a very touching personal tribute about the final days of a mother, grandmother and dedicated nurse and teacher. It is about the things appreciated and noticed and some signs of faith.
Even if you have not read other books by this author your heart will be affected.

No one knows how long they have to live. Her mother was very comfortable to discuss her funeral arrangements to her daughter before she was even aware her time was approaching.
