WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS PROJECT? Sounds fun!

WHAT ONE WORD DESCRIBES YOU BEST. Creative.

IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? Lynx.

IF YOUR PARENT WERE AN ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD HE/SHE BE? Panda Bear.

IF YOU WERE MAROONED ON AN ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE WITH YOU? Food, Water and a Tent

WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOU? I like math.

WHAT IS MOST "SPECIAL" TO YOU ABOUT YOUR PARENT? They are always caring and they do things with me as much as they can.

IN WHAT WAY HAS HAVING A PARENT WITH CANCER CHANGED YOUR LIFE? It seems like everyday my mom is getting more sick by the second and i never know if she is going to die. My mom is always going for surgery for her cancer and we barely get any time together because she is always with the doctors.

DESCRIBE SOMETHING THAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT YOUR CHILD WHILE YOUR PORTRAIT WAS BEING TAKEN AND WHAT IT MEANT TO YOU TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED BY HIM/HER.
That he does care and wants to be around me and wants to understand what is going on. It was great to have him take pictures of me because it was a time for just me and him to be together without others. It was a great bonding experience, to also see him having fun trying to sneak up on me, to get me to smile and laugh while he snapped the picture.

WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT LEARNING EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE SHARED WITH YOUR CHILD SINCE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER?
The single most important thing I have shared with my son and learned from being told about my cancer would be that he will always be there for me and help me through it, even through our bad days. I know that he cares abut me and loves his mummy. ☺
