Its been difficult starting our business. We attended our first conference last weekend in Dallas and it was a huge success. We retrieved 90 leads from nurses and nurse managers all over the US. They all loved our products and want samples for trial. It was overwhelming. Our booth was constantly packed with people. Although it was overwhelming, it was fun and we enjoyed meeting everyone as well as the feedback we received regarding our products. The difficult part was knowing our products were developed while our daughter was sick. I wish I didn't have this product, I would trade it all to have Saoirse back. I would trade it all to have her not had been sick.
There is no comparable feeling than to watch your child suffer.
There is no comparable feeling than watching your child die.
Cancer in children is a horrible thing. Its evil. Its unforgiving. Its ridged. Its smart.
Cancer doesn't consider feelings or thoughts.
Cancer doesn't care about pain.
Cancer is Pain. Period.
Deep breath.
We are going to help others with our products. Kezia is going to help others with her foundation. Its a choice to do this. We can sit and fall into our sorrow or we can embrace it and keep our heads high. We didn't teach Saoirse to fall into her sorrow, we encouraged and built encouragement and love. That is us, it has to be.
Deep breath.
I am a husband. A dad. A business owner. My wife's cancer relapsed. We have a 3 year old. Did I mention my kid died of cancer? I write about all of it.
Your posts are always so moving. You guys just amaze me. I wish I could meet you in person. Someday maybe. I am so happy your products are going to help others though. I can imagine how bittersweet that must be. It is hard for me to imagine how you find your strength but I am told you just do. As for the Holilday's - yeah that is tough. I would think Sairose wants you to have a tree and lights though. It may make you smile even. Don't give up on Christmas. Christmas is about love and celebration. Try to think about the love you feel for her and eachother and celebrate the time you got to be with her. Celebrate the difference you have made in 1000's of strangers lives like myself. Hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I agree, Saoirse loved christmas trees and the lights. She really had a good time last year when we decorated the tree, she felt pretty good that night for a while. It was almost as if the tree, the spirit of love in our house temporarily erased her pain and gave her a gift of feeling good.
ReplyDeleteyou say it all so well. i would just add "cancer sucks"
