My daughter Carolyn and I have been friends and neighbors with Molly and her family for quite some time. We have seen firsthand how hard she and her husband Eric work for their family. We set up this fundraiser so she can focus on spending precious time with them. Here is her story-
My name Is Molly Michele Stewart. I was born September 10th 1970. My best friend growing up was my big sister. I always wanted to be around her which lead to growing up sooner than I should have. At 16 years of age I purchased 6 one way Greyhound bus tickets to Arizona. Not much of a plan beyond that, I just wanted to see if I could do it alone outside the drama in MN. I felt leaving meant I could create my own destiny and not worry about things that were out of my control. Being weak or needy when you lived from spot to spot meant you'd quickly get taken advantage of. I was not about to be taken advantage of so I lived as independently as I possibly could. On many occasions I felt asking for help was not an option so I just continued to move forward in anyway possible. Once I started to act like I deserved a better life, I started a family and tried my best to be the best mom, friend, and wife. I started to be able to do things for them like family trips and helping with college and getting awesome apartments… and then our world changed.
I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 2017. I was 46. This is my 3rd cancer diagnoses and now my colon cancer has moved to a 3rd spot. When I found out I wouldn't be cured this time, my first thought was what about my family? What about all the things I'm responsible for? I AM THEIR ROCK! I'm the MOM!!!!!! I just don't want to leave them screwed. I want to get all my loose ends taken care of and enjoy what is left in front of me. I'm thankful for all my wanderlust memories from AZ, CA, VA, DC.
I must have known that I needed to live as big as I could back then… but now I'm in a spot that is not going to go away, and I finally need to say out loud, "I need help". Cancer sucks.
