My Jessie Journal:: Ring….Ring….Ring…
Hello?
“Hi daddy, it’s Jessie.”
Hi Sweat Pea, it’s so great to hear your voice. It’s pretty early here…are you ok?
“I’m great daddy…just wanted to call and say “hi”. What are you doing?”
I just got out of the shower and getting ready to head to the JoyFactory and help more kids fighting cancer NEGU.
“That sounds like a fun day daddy. Do you remember when I was fighting cancer and you had to hold me in the shower because I was to weak to stand?”
I sure do Jess. I think about those times every time I stand in the shower and water races down my face. You never knew this, but why I was holding you and mommy was washing you…tears poured out of my eyes…I was so scared and didn’t really know what to do. I hated seeing you weak and your body not responding to you. I was so honored to be your source of strength when you were weak but I was so scared. Thankfully the water mixed with my tears and you couldn’t tell I was crying.
“Daddy, you and mommy were always there for me and gave me so much strength. I’m so thankful for you two. The cancer just won on earth but not here in Heaven. I’m healed, healthy and having fun with all of my new friends here.”
That’s is so great to hear Jess. I used to think Heaven was this mysterious place…it feels so real now that you are there. I love this picture of you at church praying. I miss praying with you so much. I just have to hold on until I see you again.
“In a wink, just like you promised me.”
Yep, in a wink.
“Daddy?”
Yes, Jess.
“Please give Shaya and JT a big hug from me. I love reading Shaya’s “sister-talk” blog. We had so many great talks when we were together. Now I can read all about this stuff going on in her life.”
I sure will….really BIG ones. I’ll give mommy one too=))).
“Don’t forget to give Mr. Moe loves too.”
Oh, I won’t. He gets tons of love everyday from all of us.
“Have a great day at work daddy.”
Thanks Jess…helping kids and families impacted by childhood cancer really doesn’t seem like “work”…it’s a honor to wade into the rushing waters of childhood cancer…extend an arm of love and provide hope and joy along the way.
I hope you have a great day too Jess. Love you!
“Love you too daddy. Bye…”
Bye Sweet Pea….
