I figured this would be the best place for as many prayers all at once!! Lord hear my prayers!
Some days it feels like I’m the glue holding everything together, (but im not) even when I feel like I’m falling apart inside. Being a stepdad …. or “Dad,” like Paisley calls me…. is about showing up no matter what obviously !!!
As we all know Paisley is fighting Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma with a courage I can’t even explain. Chemo. Radiation. Pain. Hospital stays. The kind of stuff that would break most adults …. and she’s just a kid. Watching her go through this is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced, but it’s also shown me what real strength looks like. Trust me when i say “ she is tougher than Most”!
This journey makes or breaks a man. Because it’s not just the hospital, it’s work, relationships, life …. all connected, all fragile. Walking on eggshells has become the new norm. And “alone” is a feeling I’ve had to make peace with, even though I have family around me. It’s just part of how I carry things.
And truth is …. if it wasn’t for Mom being stronger than I am… I just don’t know. She’s the backbone of all of this, and I pull strength from her when I feel like I’ve run out of my own.
I’m not writing this for sympathy. I’m sharing it because this is my journey as her dad. And because if Paisley can keep fighting with the heart she has, then the least I can do is keep showing up, every single day, show the world her empowering journey for all dads, and families to grow!!
Daddy loves you tons and you keep showing up with perfection so with a little adjustment, I’ll pick the apples from the bottom of the tree first so we can get to the Top!!
