Yesterday would have been my daughter's birthday. In a way it still was her birthday. She would have been 28 had cancer not taken her life when she was just 18. We don't forget. These anniversaries still mean something.
I post this not for sympathy but just to publicise that children and young adults get cancer and that they can die of cancer. I show an image I made of her wig from when she lost her hair after receiving chemo therapy.

A Christmas image which sums up all of the children lost to cancer and how this time of year brings it all home. We lost our daughter Rebecca 9 years ago just before Christmas. We never forget.

This is a small post about the language we use maybe without thinking.
I often hear people describe their cancer as a fight or a battle. We lost a child to cancer. The problem with use of words such as fight and battle is that it seems to imply that those who die somehow didn't fight hard enough.

15th February is the official day that childhood cancer is recognised. Childhood cancer affects many families each day of every year.
Childhood cancer needs more awareness. 🎗️

6 years. For my other kids there was life with Trey, and life after. They continue to amaze me at how they deal and heal. For my wife and I, part of us passed on that day, you can't deny or avoid that. However, we live on and do so strongly.
I'm so proud of the strength of my wife, the wisdom of my children, the presence of my family, and the strength of my friends. #cancerstillsucks #kidsgetcancertoo #shutupandlovesomeone
