Three and a
half years ago our family was a complete functioning unit. By no means were we
"picture perfect" - we bickered, we yelled, we rolled our eyes. But
at the end of the day we loved each other more than anything and we supported
every decision we made. We had parents who loved each other more than anything,
and siblings who were closer than best friends.
On April 19
2010 our entire lives were turned upside down, our loving father and husband
Terry was diagnosed with a rare form of sinus cancer. He fought hard and
courageously, undergoing life changing surgeries, intense chemotherapy, and
agonizing radiation, all the while staying positive and counting all the
blessings God had given him.
On May 7
2011, we said our final goodbye to Terry. Today, we stand strong as a family of
five, using our brokenness to bring us closer together. Not a day passes by
where we don't wish we still had a loving Husband and Daddy, but not a moment
passes where we aren't thankful for every moment we had with him.
We have felt the cold, cruel touch of cancer, and we wish this pain upon no person or family. So in Terry's memory, the five of us, along with close family and friends, will raise money and run or walk to find a cure for cancer. Please support us in our endeavour to kick cancer's ass!
