My dad started his chemo and radiation today.
This experience has been completely eye opening for me.
Not only has it taught me to live everyday with purpose, appreciation and love but also the true light of one's soul. It's amazing to see who is there for you through the outstanding hardships.
Those that I had hoped would be there weren't and those that I never would have expected to be there, were offering my family the kindest gestures of support.
I found this to be enlightening as well as incredibly disappointing.
However I know this realization will only help me to see who's worth my energy and love and who isn't.
For those of you that reached out with your support, checked on me and my family daily or offered not only encouraging words but your precious time and assistance in helping my family out, I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're thoughtfulness and your eagerness to help us in any way you can means more to me than I will ever be able to explain and you will always have a special place in my heart.
As for those of you that didn't care to reach out, I have forgiven you for your absence when I needed you the most. I can't afford to hold onto anything but love and positivity right now.
I refuse to let any of this experience affect me in a negative way, everything that has happened or will happen from this moment on is a constructive blessing that will shape and transform me into the person I am striving to be everyday, it can only make my family and I stronger and that's the beauty I choose to focus on.
I am beyond grateful for my family, my true friends and the most phenomenal staff at Mobile Infirmary, we certainly have the absolute best support team behind us and I just can't tell you how truly wonderful it is to know that.
Thank you for reading and all your continuous support, it means the world to me, wishing you all a wonderful day full of positivity and light and love. XOXO Em
