Too Tired

Written by: Maya Thompson

I need to write tonight. Ronan is wide awake, and we are having a party in his bed with applesauce, crackers, and Gatorade. His fever is gone — knock on wood. He’s giggly and saying lots of funny things. His spirits are good, and he wants to come home. Hopefully we’ll be able to this week.

Goodnight to all of our angels out there.

P.S. Tonight I grabbed a quick bite with my girlfriends — Sarah, Janet, and Kristen. Thank you for that, girls. I also got to go home and kiss my twins goodnight. Liam was already asleep, but I woke him up to do so. Quinn was awake, and it was so good to see him. So therapeutic.

He really let me hold him and love him.

It was while looking into his beautiful gray eyes that I swore to myself, over and over, that we will get Ronan through this. Quinn and Liam deserve to have their baby brother back home and healthy. Nobody is going to mess with the bond they have or take it away from them. Ever.

We were meant to be a family of five. Ronan is the perfect ending to our family, and it is going to stay that way.

So screw you, cancer.

YOU WON’T WIN.

    Your journey mirrors what we went through with my Niece. You WILL get through it and so will Ronan and your family. You have tremendous suport and that’s what makes a difference. Someone told us “when you are going through hell, the only thing you can do is keep going” – so true. It will get better. Here is an wonderful poem that I hope gives you strength today. Lots of hugs and prayers. Cecilia

    What Cancer Cannot Do
    Author: Unknown

    CANCER IS SO LIMITED………….
    It cannot cripple love.
    It cannot shatter hope.
    It cannot corrode faith.
    It cannot eat away peace.
    It cannot destroy confidence.
    It cannot kill friendship.
    It cannot shut out memories.
    It cannot silence courage.
    It cannot reduce eternal life.
    It cannot quench the Spirit

    I will pray for you and your family for a full recovery. One more angel will be looking over your son until he is safe and healthy.

    Sorry to hear you are back in hospital. But as you say you are in the best of hands. I have my mom in England praying for you and she will tell of little Ronan to her church group, there are many more angels by his side. She would write on your blog, but she’s computer phobic! Praying for you all everyday. Wrapping our love around you.
