Please never forget how brave it is to continue to show up in a story that looks so different than you thought it would be.
When your child is in treatment for cancer, time doesn’t just move differently, it disappears. School concerts, vacations, lazy weekends, even just normal mornings….gone. Replaced with hospital rooms, schedules, uncertainty, and a kind of courage we never asked to learn.
We see other families carrying on, celebrating milestones, posting moments that feel so out of reach for us right now. And while we’re genuinely happy for them, it also hurts. Not out of jealousy, but out of grief for what we’re missing, what our child is missing. This isn’t about resentment. It’s about grief. Grief for the birthdays spent in treatment rooms. For the laughter that was replaced with worry. For the normalcy that slipped quietly away.
This isn’t the path we chose. But it’s the one we walk every day, counting each and every blessing.
To everyone who relates to this right now, we see you, we’re with you, and brighter days are ahead. ❤️🎗️
