Letter Never Sent: Cancer

via TJC

 

It was Sat Sep 21, 2024 and it was a great day.I was up before everyone else and knowing that you had a long week with the kiddos, I took baby J so that you could sleep in. Shortly after getting into a decent routine Braden woke up and then Landon. You heard the baby crying so you got him and went back to bed.  I was able to take the rest of the crew out to the playground and get them out so you could rest! Coming back before lunch, I was looking outside while doing the dishes and I was suddenly caught by surprise as a pair of hands wrapped around my waist with a hug from behind. I enjoyed the silent hug and embrace for a few minutes until the silence becomes awkward, and then a soft whimper alerts me to turn in your hands. Sensing that something is wrong, I embrace the seriousness of the hug and your whimper turned into sobbing and the frustration as you tell me my tumor marker has risen 11 points in 2 weeks. Shocked but resilient, I keep my calm. The boys walk in and I ask for a group hug because they do not understand why you are crying. This  letter I hope you never read because we kept the faith, fought the good fight, and used prayerful wisdom to take the right steps to live this through. I am blessed to be your husband and thank you for our awesome warriors!


Daily Battle Order:

Get your annual physicals, you are responsible for your own health.  Sometimes you have to make some tough decisions with doctor recommendations.  Put God first and listen prayerfully, and use all the wisdom that God provides.
