Father's Day isn't about me. It's about my daughter. Watching her grow into the person she is today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I couldn't be prouder.
I received my first Stage IV cancer diagnosis on her second birthday. At the time, I had no idea what the future would hold. What came next was another Stage IV and a palliative diagnosis. But she has kept me going, my reason to fight. Looking back now, I realise how fortunate I have been to watch her grow from a little girl into the remarkable young woman she is today. Cancer has taken a lot from me over the years, but it has never taken away the joy, pride and love I feel as her dad. She still melts my heart, and every extra birthday, milestone and memory together feels like a gift. If Father's Day means anything to me, it's gratitude for the privilege and honour to be her dad and for the precious years together....with more to come! It's super being a dad ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Butterflies are proof that you can go through darkness and still become something beautiful when you make it out and find the light again. 🫶🏻#StarfishClub
