To my precious daughter,
What an incredible journey we have been on together over the past year and a half. Cancer came into our lives uninvited, and it has been a fierce opponent. You are bravely fighting for your life, and I am in awe of your strength. Through this experience, I have discovered reservoirs of resilience within myself that I never knew existed.
You have taught me the importance of living in the moment, to slow down, and appreciate the little joys life brings. The trivial concerns that once seemed monumental no longer hold the same weight. My perspective has shifted significantly, and I find myself cherishing simple pleasures more than ever.
My deepest hope for you is that you never lose that spirited, lively essence of yours—the one that keeps me on my toes. Your ability to bounce back and navigate challenges is simply remarkable. You have touched so many lives in your short ten years, inspiring others in ways you may not even realize. I pray that you continue to be a blessing to everyone you meet.
Sweet girl, I am truly honored to be your mother. My love for you knows no bounds. While we never anticipated finding ourselves in this situation, we are determined to make the most of every moment. We have been changed, but in many ways, for the better. You are nothing short of amazing, and in my eyes, you are a hero. Always remember that.
With all my love,
Mom
