Over the last few weeks my families lives and mine have been
changed drastically. Imagine going for a test for a minor complaint, just an
occasional ache in your side, only to discover that you have kidney cancer. I am in shock and still
having a difficult time dealing with this diagnosis.
I am trying to approach my upcoming surgery and treatment
with a positive outlook, trying to keep my sense of humour and surrounding
myself with the most loving, caring & positive family and friends’
I know that this will be the fight of my life and these are
just some of the things I am fighting for.
1.
I want to walk my daughter Keryn down the aisle
and when they ask who gives this women to be married to this man. I want to
proudly say “I DO”.
2.
I want to dance with my son Ryan at his wedding.
3.
I want to watch my son Ryan hold his first born child in his arms,
know the miracle of life & see the awe in his eyes.
