I wish I could give you more details.
I wish I could tell you, in great detail, how wonderful my family is, especially right now. I wish I could express what it means when my wife looks at me, rubs her hand against my face and says; “we’ll be fine.”
I wish I could give you more details about why it matters when Jake takes time to make his dad lunch, not because he needs to, but just because he wants to. Or when Jess hugs me and asks questions about cancer.
There are so many things, like these, that cause my shoulders to release tension, my eyes to water and my life to feel fulfilled and somewhat hopeful.
I wish I could give you more details, because there is so much more to tell. But this is my family and there are precious moments that don’t need to be shared. For 22 years the four of us have been building our lives together and now, as this next tests begins these three people are proving to be the most important in my life.
There will be many more moments like these over the next few months and years. But some things are meant to be kept a secret. I only share these few to say to each one of them that I notice, even when my head is buried in the computer scouring cancer sites or when my eyes glaze over and I fail to say a thing. I wish I could give you three more details but I can’t find the words to tell you how much I love you.
