LEONARDTOWN, Md. - A mother whose 4-year-old died of cancer shared the pain of losing her child in a heartbreaking post on Facebook.
Ruth Scully’s son, Nolan, died in February of rhabdomyosarcoma – a rare soft tissue cancer.
Nolan was diagnosed in November 2015 after originally having trouble breathing from what the family thought was just a stuffy nose.
Two months after his death, Scully shared her feelings in an emotional Facebook post that has been shared more than 615,000
times.
"Two months. Two months since I've held you in my arms, heard how much you loved me, kissed those sweetie "pie" lips. Two months since we've snuggled. Two months of pure absolute Hell," she wrote.
She also shared the heartbreaking conversation she had with her son after finding out from his doctors that the cancer was no longer treatable.
Scully also wrote about the emotional story of his last day. She said she only left his side to shower and when she returned, doctors said he slipped into a coma.
Scully says that Nolan used to curl up on a rug on the bathroom floor while she showered.
