✨I want to go back✨
Our make a wish trip was so blissful. We had a blast as a family. Seeing our kids so excited about every little thing helped bring the magic back into our lives. Tyler and I felt like kids again. Staying up late, eating too much ice cream and pizza, buying whatever souvenirs made our girl happy. It was so much fun.
Last year when we were in the middle of chemo, watching Lilah puke, I was not thinking of this moment. I could barely see past that day, past that moment. We watched her little body get pumped with literal poison in hopes to save her life. We watched her become too weak to walk or to even get out of bed. We watched our ONE YEAR OLD fight for her life.
But here we are a year later. A place I was too scared to think of. And it is magical. Having this trip as a family to just HAVE FUN was much needed. Not once did I think about the cancer while on the trip. Not once did I think of her upcoming scans. Not once was I worried for our girl. We just had fun.
Thank you Make-A-Wish America and Give Kids The World for giving our family something we desperately needed. If I could relive this trip over and over again, I would.
