I robbed my daughter
As the first month of this new year draws to a close, I can't help but wonder how my life had been if 2009 were different. The last two springs I have been hospitalized or under a doctors care. Last year my baby girl turned into a woman right before my eyes. She turned 21, we did not celebrate in Las Vegas like she had planned. Instead she stayed by my bedside while I lost my hair due to the effects of chemotherapy. I could not leave the floor of my hospital room to buy a gift or share a special meal. Cancer may have affected me physically but it took an emotional toll on all members of my family. Who wants to spend their 21st birthday in a hospital. I robbed my daughter of this special celebration.
This April I hope to be released from medical care. I can than begin to move forward and repay all those that have done so much for me. I can not turn back time but I hope to have a birthday party for my daughter. Something along the lines of 21+1 she has been through so much that it hurts. I have caused her such pain that no child should have to endure. Her birthday is in mid April. I do not have a clue as to what I am going to do, I just know it has to be special. I again am asking for help, if you have ideas on how we can celebrate this special event please leave me a comment or text me at (786) 281-8316. I need all the help I can get.
As for my health, I go to see my doctor this Tuesday for a check-up. I still have good days and bad. The cold bothers me now than it did prior to the transplant but I can bear it. I think my hair is receding and the acne from the steroids is still present. My weight has not changed much. The love I have for my daughter has not wavered, but grown stronger. Realizing how important each day we have together is. I hope to see you at her birthday party this spring.

You did not rob your daughter, in fact you gave her the best gift you could have ever given to her. You gave her yourself and a lesson in surviorship and coping with whatever comes in life that will strengthen her throughout her lifetime. You taught her that miracles happen if you keep on believing and have have faith enough to wait. You were the best gift that you could ever give to her. She will always treasure her memories of you being strong enough to face your adversity and win. You gave her the gift of love on her 21st birthday.
