This is my tenth Mother's Day without my mother -- but it is not a sad day in the least. At 74-years-old my mom was a cancer survivor of many years -- but made a courageous decision to for forego additional painful treatments. It was an enormous honor to walk with Occie Belle Moore through the "valley and the shadow of death."

I shared the last three weeks of her life -- and experienced priceless moments of joy, frustration, sadness, learning and her final step of victory.

The great part of my job is nearly always get a chance to do a Mother's Day story on Mother's Day. Today I had the pleasure of sharing with 44-year-old Sharon Armstrong -- a mother of four, three grandchildren who nearly lost her family in 1998 due to an addiction to drugs.
