"Having an illness in the family is never an easy thing, and learning to cope with the emotions that come with potentially losing one of the people you hold dearest in the world isn&amp;#39;t only difficult, it&amp;#39;s brave. Pretty Little Liar&amp;#39;s Cody Christian could probably relate, as his mom recently overcame a battle with breast cancer. He posted a beautiful and heartbreaking tribute to her on Instagram yesterday: \n\n&amp;quot;Took this photo of my mom last year on her path to recovery against breast cancer,&amp;quot; he begins. &amp;quot;It still has as much of an impact on me today as it did when I took it. Wouldn&amp;#39;t be far without her. Her strength is immeasurable. And something I sought after time and time again.&amp;quot;\n\nIt&amp;#39;s really amazing to see celebrities open up about their personal life struggles, if only to remind us that we&amp;#39;re not alone, and we all deal with things that are undeniably hard. While we appreciate the beautiful black and white snapshot of his mom, we&amp;#39;re also gently reminded: life is precious, and we must appreciate the people we love while we have them. \n\nLoadingView on Instagram\n\nRelated:There May Be a The Notebook-Style Ending on Pretty Little Liars\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
