4/28- 3:07am I was asleep and my phone rang with the most devastating news. My son’s father and my best friend is gone. I don’t know how else to say that at this moment

4/26- Sitting up here with P and he feels like he is on fire. He was running a very high fever of 103 this morning. His left hand and arm is extremely swollen due to fluid retention. His left lung is still full of fluid and he is still unresponsive.

He does seem to get agitated at times, but unfortunately he isn’t able to voice anything or really move so I just try to reposition him and hope that helps. He keeps making this face when I do like it hurts him so I try not to move him too much. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as well as his mom and Kayden.

4/25- Today marks a year since P was diagnosed. We were told he had 3 years, but how can they really tell?!?

I checked on P this morning and Mimi said he was still unresponsive, just lying there. I know how much it breaks my heart seeing him like this, I can only imagine what it’s doing to his mom and his son.

4/24- Philip spiked a high fever last night and has been out all day. He hasn’t even woken up to eat. The Dr came in and his left lung is full of fluid.

I know I keep saying it can be any day now, but it’s just getting closer and closer.

4/23- They always say there is a calm before the storm… Philip is alert and being himself this morning. I was able to FaceTime him and he told me he hated the color of my bedroom walls I know this isn’t a good sign, but it was just what I needed and hopefully he is still alert when I get out there this afternoon.

I’ll be finalizing all the funeral arrangements today so I will update that later. Until then, please continue praying for him, his mom, and Kayden.

4/21- I met with the funeral director today and was finally able to get a total for the funeral $7,367. I really hate bothering people and asking for help, but we could use all the help possible. Philip is in his final days and we are just taking it day by day. 

Once I am able to make a down payment on the funeral I’ll be able to post their info incase anyone would like to donate directly to them. Thank you everyone for your love and support. It means so much to us. 

I do have Venmo (@TabbyRenae82) and CashApp ($TabbyRenae82) both if you would like to send money that way. Also if you would like to mail the money my address is

4441 Bridgeport Rd, Edmonton KY 42129 for those of you that do not want to donate on here.

I would like to thank those that have helped so far especially Angela, Jacob, and John for helping with the casket.

They say when you get divorced, that usually means you don’t have to deal with them anymore unless it has to do with the kids, if you had kids together. That’s not the case with me and Philip though. Philip is my daughters uncle, he is still Uncle Philip to my sisters kids, he is still son to my parents, and he is still my best friend, my person.

Unfortunately Philip has taken a turn for the worse. He is unable to stand for a period of time which makes his fall, he is having a harder time eating and just all around not good. The day I have dreaded is getting closer and closer, but I know he will be better off. Please continue to keep his mom, Kayden, and the rest of the family in your prayers as well as Philip. He has had such a great attitude this whole time and has just enjoyed life while he could.

3/26- Philip is in so much pain and he keeps saying he can tell his body is starting to give out. Definitely not what I wanted to hear yet. I know it’s coming, but I’m not ready to tell him goodbye.

We are struggling to find a funeral home that will let us make payments. Unfortunately he didn’t have a life insurance policy. Every funeral home wants between $5-6,000 and they want half down and the rest within 14 days. Thankfully I have some great people that are trying to help or it would cost more.

For now we are just trying to keep Philip busy to keep his mind off the pain as much as possible and just trying to soak up the time we have left.

3/19- Philip is having a lot of pain. His pain meds are not helping so they are trying to see what else they can do to help keep him comfortable. He is also having some mobility issues and has requested a walker and wheelchair from hospice to help him get around.

3/1- Today I went over and hung out with P. He took a few naps while I was there and we took a walk around the block which seemed to make him feel a little better even if it was for a short time. He kept wanting to go take a motorcycle ride and I kept reminding him he couldn’t drive anymore, he would just laugh at me lol. It was a good visit, never a dull moment around Philip.

2/27- Was able to visit with Philip a little today. He’s not happy with the way his meds make him feel, but he knows he needs them due to the pain. I told him I’d come out Saturday and spend the day with him so he is looking forward to that.

Update: Philip has been in the hospital all weekend. He has decided to stop all treatments and hospice has been called in. He will be moved to a facility once a bed becomes available and then home where they will come and see him there. We are only doing comfort care now and just trying to keep him as pain free as possible.

Hello everyone. My name is Tabatha and I am trying to raise money to help my son’s father with the planning of his funeral.

Philip has been fighting stage 4 esophageal cancer, but it has spread into his hip and rib bones and the Dr told him even with treatment, he may have a year.

We have already planned the funeral and have everything lined up so Philip’s wishes are fulfilled, but we are still short on paying for everything. I hate to ask, but if you can, please help us any way possible and please continue to keep Philip and Kayden both in your prayers.
