Daddy,
I know that you feel worried and scared. Having cancer is most likely one of the most scariest things a person can go through. However, it is also one of the experiences that creates strength in us that we never even knew existed. It creates a fight in us that we have never experienced. It creates a sense of closeness to our faith and family. It shows us all the small things in life that we never noticed before.
During the darkest times on the walk up the mountain top of victory, remember that you are not alone. Know that your name is being lifted by people all over – some who do not even known you personally but have faith and lift you up in their thoughts and prayers. Your strength through this and the will to fight and destroy is a part of you and that is why you are kicking cancer butt.
I know that the past few weeks, you have felt beyond “awful” but know that we are kicking cancer butt. Before every spring, there is winter where the earth rest. Come spring, all is alive and growing. Right now, you are at the end of winter. Soon, you will be in spring and a celebration of rebirth and life with overcome your body. We will walk the survivor lap together at Relay for Life and you will beat this cancer.
As I have told you before, your job is not done here on earth. You got a lot to live for and a family who loves you. So Marine, you are called to duty and continue to fight as Cancer is going down!
Love,
Jennifer
XOXO
