So, a husband and I lost our daughter to cancer seven months ago. She was nine months old at the time. Yikes. How old was she? Nine months old at the time. Smokes. Yup. What was her name? What was her name? Sadie. Sadie, nine months. Yup. What kind of cancer? She was born with leukemia. God almighty. So, was it in utero? Yeah. But we didn't know it until she was about five months old. So, she fought for about four months and it just became too much for treatment. So, oh my gosh, that little bitty baby. Yeah. So, we have a lot going on in our lives and So, that was you said seven months ago? Yeah, it was seven months ago. Okay, so just pause right there. What's the last seven months been? How are you and your husband doing? You know, it's a struggle every day, for sure. You know, everybody else goes on with their lives and it still seems like we're stuck. Yup. You know, we're still doing our thing and going to work and just trying to put one foot in front of the other. I've I've found that after month four, five, or six or so, when the calls stop and the text stop and the casseroles stop, that's when that grief becomes heavy, heavy, heavy and really dark gray. Right. Yeah. Is that fair? Is that what you all are experiencing? Yeah, it's it's definitely similar to that. It's very difficult, for sure. So then you say that's not all. What's next? No. So on top of that, I'm actually currently pregnant, four months pregnant with our soon-to-be son. Wow. Okay. So, we have a lot going on. Yeah. Wow, wow, wow. Okay. Yeah. And so all signs pointing to healthy? Everything good with son? So far, but they won't be able to test him for cancer until he's born. So. Okay. I'm going to put a pin in what you just said. I'd love to let everybody know how I would love to hear the words of a mom who's both broken-hearted and both brimming with optimism and joy. A mom who's both terrified of the next shoe that's going to drop and both hopeful. I'd love to read that letter out. It would bless there's not a lot of people who listen to the show, but actually, you know what, I'm not even going to make a joke in this one. It would bless a lot, a lot of people. A lot of people listen to the show. It would really be a gift.
