Before the cancer💔 At this time in our life Delilah was barely 3. We were a young couple struggling we had just moved to the Bay Area because Daddy got a Job. We rented a room in a house in Oakland California. Dad would take the vehicle to work, so I’d walk to the neighborhood park everyday with summer & Delilah. I really didn’t want them being stuck in a room all day. I’m telling you this because at the time, I thought we had nothing. When in reality we had the only thing I’m wishing for now! My Delilah’s health! She was healthy, she ran faster than anyone, the biggest dare devil, she was not timid or afraid of life! Not long after that moved into an apartment in Bakersfield it ended up being cheaper than the room we ere renting in Oakland. Dad would sleep in his truck during the week at a truck stop in Oakland to save money and be close for work, because he’s still working in the Bay Area. It was just to expensive to live. The little apartment we rented never felt like home. We didn’t even get to fully furnish it before Delilah started getting sick. We were 3 months into our lease when we heard of the words “stage, 4 cancer”. She was diagnosing in Los Angeles, we didn’t go back to Bakersfield that whole first year. Irvin talked to his boss, he transfer to Los Angeles apartment let us break our lease, gave our deposit back and moved DT Los Angeles the first year of Delilah diagnosis. I can’t believe that was 5 years ago. Nothings gotten easier, I think we’ve just learned to still manage and live life while our daughter fights for her life. I wish we could go back that little room where I could walk them to the park everyday. Instead this pretty little girl you’ve seen in going on her 3rd consecutive week inpatient. It gets hard to wrap your head around it all at times 😔. Please don’t take your healthy kids for granted! Do everything in the world with them! You were only 4 you didnt deserve the hand of cards that life dealt you! I’m still praying, expecting that miracle! I know God can do it! It’s coming, I can feel it. #delilahlovestrong #heytheredelilah #cancer #explore #losangeles #california #fyp #foryou
