Just a little post from Dawayne:
So a little rant. As I have sit through everything with my daughter since February 12th at 1300 till today. I realize how strong and amazing she really is. She tries so hard to be strong and it kills me inside. I get it she is my step daughter but I don’t see her as that, I see her as one of my kids. I know everything there is to know about what she has and is going through and if I don’t know I am sure to not sugar coat anything and straight ask the questions everyone is afraid to ask. Then there comes a time in our daily adventures that I need to step away and collect my thoughts. I know I was taught that as a father never show your kids your scared because they draw from your emotions. However through my 41 years of life I have seen cancer take some great people away from loved ones. So I take a knee and pray that my daughter regains everything that was taken away from her on that day. I hate to say this is the new normal but questions were asked today that I needed to know. Well the news we got is not what I thought. Yes we have accomplished the chemotherapy path but we are starting down another path that is going to be a little longer. It hurts my heart to see my daughters eyes fill up with tears when she gets told the answer that we didn’t want to hear. She is getting her scans as we speak so please send some positive thoughts and prayers for our warrior. Just please remember everyone reading this to hug your loved ones a little tighter today because you never know what god as in store for us and time is a valuable thing please don’t ever take it for granted. Let me clarify something people might have read wrong. We don’t know anything about her scans we asked about counts from the lab work up, and normal freshman stuff like school, sleep overs, and general questions about getting her life back to normal. I am sure my wife will update everyone with what the other half of the news is about the scans.
