November 2nd 2014 my sister Clare passed away from an aggressive form of breast cancer. Within 4 weeks of finding out she passed away. she was only 38 and a mother of 3 children. At first they didn't realise how bad the cancer was,and thought it was treatable unfortunately it wasn't and we were told she only had a very short time left. My brave sister held on for 6 more days. I promised her I wouldnt leave her side, I didn't and spent those days and nights caring for her. My final promise was to hold her hand when she passed,and I did. It was the hardest day,and now I'm gonna wear my least favourite colour and run(which I never do) so she can be proud of me.
