6 years ago our world was shattered. Broken. Forever changed. We waited in the waiting room at brenners for Cora to come out of her biopsy and was told that she had cancer.

Thank you Lord for lending her to me for 5 short years on earth but for forever in eternity.

We try to do something special for other cancer fighting kiddos on this day each year. This one was by far the best! If we can spread a smile to another kiddos face and give them a small bit of joy in that moment it helps us continue to push forward to do better each day for these cancer fighters. Cora had a purpose in her short life here and because of her and all those that love her and us, she’s forever changing so many lives.

Thank you to Kelly Rudisill and Kendra Scott and Toys & Co. - Greensboro for helping us spread love this Valentine’s Day to the peds oncology floor at Brenners ♥️. We were able to prepare special gift baskets hand picked for all 18 inpatient kiddos and Leave plenty gifts for the clinic kids.

Special thank you to all those that donated especially end of year last year that allowed us to do this today. We love you all!

Our second duke kiddo that we will be fulfilling a Christmas list for is a 6 year old girl with a brain tumor. We’ve added a couple items so far to her list. If you would like to help us fulfill her Christmas list, we would be so appreciative ♥️.

Happy 8th birthday in heaven to my sweet angel. I know you are happy and having the best birthday. I can hear you cackling now. I wonder what birthday cake you would have this year and which toys you would be requesting 😂. We ate “bugers” for dinner, your favorite. And you played jokes on Papaw tonight at the putt putt course 😂. We aren’t okay down here but keep pushing each day to make you proud. Another day closer to you my love…..

Thank you to all our friends and family that have reached out today to tell our girl happy birthday.

I’ve prayed so many nights before I go to bed, “God please let me see her tonight, I need her and I need to see her.” It’s been 871 days since I last saw, touched, and kissed on my baby girl and I just miss her so so much. Last night, God finally answered my prayer. I remembered every part of the dream when I woke up this morning. Although I didn’t get to see her before cancer with her beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, I got to see that beautiful bald head, but yet she was well and healed from cancer.

We were at a weird “Duke” hospital, not the one I’ve spent so much time at, but she was on her final hours/minutes of life here on earth and moved way down a hallway to what I think was an “ICU” room where she was being monitored continuously. I had not seen her for a few days as either they wouldn’t allow me to or I just couldn’t handle seeing her like that. I doubt the later because I would be by my girl’s side no matter what. We had to check in at the desk where I saw lots of families crying and upset because they had just lost a loved one. Cora’s room was in view from where I was and as my turn was coming up to check in and go back to see my girl, her door opened wide and she stood up in bed and came towards me. I jumped the glass wall to get her. She was drinking her water and no tubes attached. She was ready to go home. What a beautiful dream it was. Thank you God for answering my prayer last night. You really gave me a good one!

Another day closer to you my love…….

5 years ago on this very day, my worst fears were confirmed from the day before. It was suppose to be a day of celebrating "love" for my 3 valentines and instead we spent it separated from one at home, and one in surgery. I was in a complete daze, I mean out of this world feeling that I can't even describe. How can this be happening to our 2 year old daughter, much less on Valentines Day.

Fast forward to the next Valentines day and we were celebrating her being off treatment and cancer free and getting back into the groove of life again. We took doughnuts to the staff and patients at Brenner's to celebrate our love for all those that helped us through such a horrible year and spread some joy to those struggling. We then spent the afternoon with our girls at the trampoline park, their choice of what they wanted to do.

From then on, each Valentine's Day makes me want to vomit and forget that it ever or will ever again exist again. I vowed that I would hate Valentines Day for the rest of my life and it would not be something we celebrated, just because it ripped our heart out in 2019 and can never be replaced.

Over the years since losing Cora in 2021, I've slowly come around to accepting Valentines Day again. For one, I have two Valentine's still left here on earth that mean the world to me and love me dearly. And two, I can't forget the love that Cora showed me and the love that others showed our family because of her. God has given us so many opportunities since Cora left us. He's given us the ability to spread love, joy, and hope to others in the pediatric cancer community and I'm forever grateful. Because of his love, I will be able to spend eternity with my angel again. A day that I am looking forward to with no cancer, pain, or suffering. Just pure happiness.

So, to you my baby girl, my Lovebug, my angel.....I'm getting better with Valentines Day. You know you can send me one of your hearts today, that you've sent me many other times. Another day closer to you my Lovebug.........

To my oldest best girl and my hubs.....I love you both so much. You both make all my days brighter and always know how to show me so much love.
