Kendall couldn't imagine how having cancer could impact her abilities to parent her children. Kendall's husband had left her and she was alone with two almost tweens to take care of. Her ex-husband wasn't able to step up because he lived at home with his parents and his own mother was battling stage 4 lung cancer.
Kendall's neighbors helped her get through this difficult time in her life. Or at least she thought they were helping her. In all appearances, Kathy and Jim seemed to have a good marriage and would be the perfect people to step in and help take care of her children as Kendall knew she would be making several trips to a city three hours away. She knew she would be getting sick because of chemotherapy and she didn't want her children to see her in that state. Her children had already been through so much. They had lost a grandmother to ovarian cancer, their aunt to breast cancer, and their great grandmother. They had temporarily lost a step-father and their two younger siblings. Kendall refused to let them be scared for her and wanted them to have the best and stable life possible.
