Yesterday I shared about my pathology results as well as the never before seen moments right after my double mastectomy and immediate DIEP FLAP reconstruction.
One thing I wanted to share with you today is something that happened while I was in surgery.
It just so happened that on this very day, December 12, 2016, Amara, our little girl, would have her 1st grade Christmas concert at school.
First I was sooo sad to miss this moment. As you know when it comes to my kids, I don't miss! Then of course while I was in serious surgery I had to send my husband off to be with Amara for her concert.
Can you imagine the amount of strength it would take to know that you are leaving the hospital where your wife is in a 13 hour long surgery to switch gears and be super hero dad. My babies they knew I was having surgery but you can see on their face that they very much did not understand the weight of this event in my life.
He made it to the concert and then dropped the kids back off to make it back in time to see me wake up.
When I woke up from surgery that was one of the first things I wanted to know. I wanted to know how the concert was.
I have to give it up to my husband for not only being super dad but he was super husband as well.
I told you, he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. That is what a caretaker of a cancer patient does. He did it so well with so much grace and love. He had the heart of a servant!
Thank you for being the most incredible man! I love you deeply and honestly hold this one moment very close to my heart because he had to wear many hats on this day and had so much heaviness happening all around him and yet, he kept it together. What a man!
A huge shoutout as well to my tribe.. those in the schedule pictured who cared for my babies that day. I fully entrusted them to you and it went seamlessly. Thank you!!
