THE FIGHT There are many types of the term “fight” Kids fighting over toys Nations against nations Religion vs religion Neighbour threatening neighbour People protesting the government Government fighting with the opposition Husband arguing with wife World War 1 and 2 Brother vs Sister Boxer vs boxer Boys after school at the ball diamond There have been countless “fights” in this world But the fight I will always remember is Mom’s fight against her Scleroderma For 24 years Mom fought with SD Some years “SD” would win, other years mom won The fight was long and drawn out A relentless battle with a foe that never rested or tired The ultimate fight for your life It took its toll on her body physically and mentally We were ready to fight “SD” into 2019 with everything we had In the end it wasn’t Mom or “SD” who won the war Battles are won and lost by out flanking your enemy Mom got out flanked in her fight for life It came out of nowhere and took us by surprise No time for goodbyes, no time to reminisce Little chance to challenge it or prepare to fight it When going into battle nervous armies looked to their leader Generals lead men and women into battle with encouraging words and unwavering leadership Other draw strength from the quiet, strong and determined warriors That describes Mom, our HERO, and the ULTIMATE “FIGHTER.” WRITTEN BY: RICK SEED
