My Jessie Journal: Hi Sweet Pea…it’s daddy! I love you so much. I know I tell you that every day but it does my heart good to write it out too. I tell Shaya & JT every day I love them too. Just wish you were here to hear me.
Jess, I need your help. My dear friend Brandon had his daughter Avery join you this week. Please make sure you find her and welcome her. She is an amazing little girl just like you. I know having an older girl to help her will be important for her and her parents. Thank you Sweet Pea!
Can you also ask the Big Guy to send me a massive dose of wisdom? I really need His help navigating the foundation. I’m honored to be helping so many families but there are some things we need to determine and I just need wisdom. For example, we get requests almost weekly to help families financially. That means more donations. I know it would help a ton on families but money is so limited. I just hate telling families “no”. Then there is a big need for volunteers that can help with administration and leading projects. Then there is the move to Texas to start a regional chapter…all great stuff…just need wisdom. Thanks for getting me some extra wisdom Sweet Pea=))).
I can’t believe March 3rd is coming up so fast. That will mark 5 years since we heard the three words that have forever changed our lives, “Jessie has cancer”. A nightmare I wish I could wake up from. No child should ever get cancer. No one should! I simply hate it with everything I have.
Like the picture I picked today? I drive by your school every day and think back to this picture…your first day of 6th grade. You were so excited and so ready to finish elementary school and move on to Jr. HIgh. Unfortunately that was the last grade you finished!
I so wish I would have invested more time into your life…I’m so sorry for taking you for granted and telling you…”Just a minute” way to many times. I know you forgive me…just one of those things I wish I get get a “do over” on.
Dang it! Tears are coming so I’m going to stop.
I miss you so much Sweet Pea!
xoxo,
daddy
