Dear Luna,
Today I made a quick trip down to Brisbane to celebrate the life of Aaron, an incredible little warrior who was one of our day ones.
It breaks my heart to say Aaron lost his battle to Cancer, Neuroblastoma.
We met Cass & Aaron a few weeks after checking into Ronald McDonald House, finding out we had checked in only days apart.
Cass was one of my biggest supports while you were chronically ill in ICU & Aaron supplied lots of laughs.
The bond built with these beautiful people, living a life only some people understand.
Although our journeys were different, sitting & talking about our days, venting, crying, laughing, was the most healing medicine.
To watch my incredible friend lose her child to such a horrible condition, to see cancer steal Aaronβs light & watch his sister Ella scream for her brother while he was taken away in a hearse is something no one should have to watch, let alone endure.
We live in a cruel world & most people donβt see these heart wrenching sides of it.
While most of you are celebrating birthdays, some of us are grieving anniversaries.
While most of you canβt wait for your children to grow up & move out, some of us wonder if we will get the chance to watch them grow.
This life is hard & it breaks you in ways you never even thought possible.
Aaron, sweet boy you are so missed. You have touched so many lives & today truely showed that. May you now rest in peace & no longer be in pain.
Cass, my beautiful friend, Iβm so sorry cancer chose your sweet boy. I wish I could take all of your pain away.
F**k cancer.
Love always,
Mum
