Help Support The Davidson's
Donation protected
I just want to start off by saying thank you everyone that has supported my family as we learn to navigate the world of Cancer.
It's a dark place, but with a little light days are more bearable.
My mom was diagnosed with an incurable cancer last year.
This summer we were blessed to be able to bring her to her favorite place every weekend for a glorious 3 months. Whiteface Campground has been a tradition of our family since before I was born.
Last weekend as we were driving home the last time for the season, it hit a little harder; this was more than likely my last time ever being there with my Mom. Something that's never crossed my mind.
Life balance when a family member is terminally ill is by far the most difficult thing I have ever gone through.
Day in and day out you make the decision, do I make money, or make one more memory?
Life is so short, and I wish I re
ally knew what that meant when I was younger.
I am my parents only child, thanks to a cancer my mom beat before to bless me with this beautiful life; I feel like I owe her the world.
My dad is an absolute Saint, doing everything in his power to be sure that my mom is happy, and as healthy as can be during this time.
Life isn't fair. Choosing between work and spending time with loved ones should be easy. But it's so not easy.
Bills don't stop, grocery needs don't stop, your own medical bills don't stop, but at the same time, neither does the cancer.
I don't like asking for help, but I could really use it, and I need to learn to ask.
I'm going to need/want/have to spend more time with my parents as days go by.
If you can donate, even just a little bit, it will help me be able to do more things that I not only want to do, but need to do - be with my mom.
I don't like to think of it as caring for my mom. It's us caring for each other and time with her is the absolute best medicine.
Eventually, I will need to take a leave if absence from work, and of course the stress of cost that proceeds death is also daunting.
Any and all donations with go directly to paying bills, putting food on the table and helping cover expenses that will inevitably pop up in the future.
I will plan on making some updates here... maybe sharing some great camp stories and some pictures from this summer. I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have had those weekends with my best friends in God's green woods.
Hold your loved ones tight. Tomorrow is never promised.
