DOTTIE v THE BIG C

Big C. Big deal 
You threatened her breasts 
And ravaged her lungs 
And filled her precious body with poison...
 
...you confined her to her bed 
And devastated the love of her life 
But she laughed at you 
All the pain through 
And still she made us all laugh too...

...because she was unbeatable
In every way. And always will be...
 
Adored, Revered, Unforgettable, 
Irreplaceable.
