On a typical Texas January morning, our family’s life took a jolt, you know the kind, the existential jolt. Our beloved 6-year-old son was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma. Just like that, our lives took a jolt.
On that typical Texas January morning, our family embarked on an epic journey into the unknown. What is remarkable, is on that day our family also expanded by two members…so very intimately, so naturally and so suddenly. Two doctors, Dr. Okcu and Dr. Rhoades, strangers before this moment in time, became family.
Our journey together over three years was filled with aching sadness, but also, and more importantly, with unbridled joy, abiding faith and divine love. Our son, who took on the role of the family’s leader, forged the path of acceptance, magic and grace, as he adeptly and masterfully led the way for the eight of us – mom, dad, brother, sister, and our doctors…and his maltipoo girl, Daisy Joy.
