My Jessie Journal: Hi Sweet Pea…It’s daddy. I LOVE you SO much. I have been posting videos of our core programs online and someone recently said… “It’s so nice to see you smile.” It was nice of them to say that. I smile because of you Jess! Because of your massive heart to help…I “get” to spread hope, joy and love to kids fighting cancer around the world. It’s such a honor to be your daddy. Sure I miss you…Sure I cry…but I’m GOOD. Not great…don’t know if I ever will be “great”…but I’m good. I know I will see you in Heaven and I will spend many more days with YOU. Does all of this remove the pain? No…it’s softens the edges just a little.
This past week I have talked with a few families with kids that have DIPG and they “hurt” so bad….they are scared, they are sad, they are worried…the list goes on. I get it and I know it all to well. I offer them all that that I have…a hug…a prayer…a voice. Dang cancer sucks!
I post this picture today…not because I’m sad…simply because I miss you. This picture is my memory of being your safe refuge amidst a dark and giant storm. I cherish this pic Mommy took of us. I remember it like it was yesterday. A dad simply doing what any “dad” would do…comfort/protect their kids.
All I want you to know today is…Daddy is good and Daddy loves you!
xoxo,
daddy
