Dad to 3 beautiful girlies ❤️
Teacher 📚
Living with a terminal illness 🧬
Making memories & sharing the journey, one day at a time 🙏

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

G’day, I’m Davo!

I’m a teacher and a dad to 3 amazing girlies who are my entire world.
Late last year, I was diagnosed with terminal blood cancer. It’s changed everything! My health, my work, and how I think about time.

I’m starting this account to share our journey honestly. Not just the hard parts, but the everyday moments that now feel incredibly important: school runs, dinner table chaos, small wins, and making memories whenever I have the energy.
My focus now is simple, being present for my girls and making as many meaningful memories with them as I can.

If you’d like to follow along, thank you. If you share this, it helps more than you might realise. And if you’re in a position to support our family, I’ve included a GoFundMe link in my profile.

Most of all, I just want to make the time I have count.

Davo

@MrsDSpEd Thank you!

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@marcie_comtois Thabk you 😊

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@Run_Read_Teach Such a wonderful thing to do! Your generosity will make a real difference to so many kids ❤️

@learntreasure As a teacher, I thought I was pretty good at handling negotiations . . . then I had three daughters. Turns out I knew absolutely nothing 😂

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

I used to be in charge. Then I had 3 daughters.

@learntreasure It's like Beyonce said "Girls, they run the world!"

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@mireily519 Love this!
Meanwhile here in Australia it’s winter, so I’m basically a penguin with WiFi right now 🐧📱

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@ChrisWillx @SteveStuWill I used to think happiness was the goal too.

Now I think in terms of memories – what my 3 daughters will carry forward when I’m not around every day.

Not sure that fixes the human condition . . . but it changes what I choose to focus on ♥️

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@ValerieSalter5 That’s a lovely way to frame it. It’s often those small, ordinary acts that end up becoming the memories that last the longest.

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@MsDixon7th That’s incredible news! Thank you for sharing it!

So happy for your boy, and for all of you. What a powerful reminder of hope and resilience

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@MsDixon7th Wishing your son the very best for today ❤️

As a dad of 3 girls going through my own journey with terminal blood cancer, posts like this hit home in a quiet way. The kind of moments that stay with you.

Hoping for all the good news for your family today.

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@AmyHatcher222 Smiling today, but it’s being carefully scheduled between “Mr B, she looked at me” and “I can’t find my pencil.” A full day, really 😊

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@LewisHowes I used to think a happy place was somewhere you went.

Now I know it's someone you're with.

Mine is wherever my three girlies are ❤️

[Davo @ForMy3Girlies]

@Amanda664789867 I'm so sorry. None of us can see these moments coming. I hope, in time, the memories you shared together bring you more comfort than the "what ifs." Thinking of you ❤️

@prekteacher23 @DietCoke The frizz is just your hair protesting the weather 😂 Enjoy the well deserved Diet Coke!
