I wanted to share this message that my nephew Zac posted on Facebook this morning. I spoke about my nephews Stage 4 Esophegeal Cancer in my January 20, 2014 blog post. We love you Zac!
From Zac Gant:
"This post has been a long time coming. I can sometimes get caught up in everything that is going on around me and I forget to show the gratitude and appreciation I have for everything that everyone has blessed me with.
I truly appreciate all of the prayers and positive thoughts that everyone is sending my way. We couldn't make it without all of the support everyone has shown. Our families have both helped us so much and made sure we were able to get to some of the medical care that would have been nearly impossible to get to on our own. We love you all and thank you very, very much.
I especially want to thank my two daughters, Hailey and Allie for all they have done and are doing to make life easier through all of this. I know the situation is not an easy one, but I think I have raised them to be smart and tough and taught them that everything works out in the end if you wait around long enough. It may not always be what you want but it always works out.
I am so proud of my girls, they are both on the honor roll, Hailey is doing great in cheerleading and Allie is loving basketball and the band. But on top of all of that, they are good sweet girls that I love more than anything on this earth They are the best two kids a dad could ask for.
How do I express my thanks to Christy. How do you find words to express the gratitude for someone who takes care of you before you know you need taken care of? Christy is my EVERYTHING! There is absolutely nothing she has not taken care of through this ordeal. Whether that meant calling 12 different doctors to find out what treatment is the best for me now, to staying up all night reading about new drug trials that may give me a better chance. Christy has not taken no for an answer when it comes to all of this. I have watched her call and call and call until she got to the right person just so that I would receive the best care possible. Nothing has been 2nd rate or seeing just who we could, Christy has gotten us into the best.
She is also my best friend in the whole wide world. This disease can take alot from you. Your dignity is one of those things, but Christy has done everything in her power to keep mine intact. She helps me with so much day to day stuff that did not used to be part of her routine and I know that adding it in only shortened the amount of time she takes for herself. I think she is an Angel, I think God sent Christy to me about 10 years ago because he knows everything already and he knew I would need an Angel to help me when I got sick.
I don't know how to explain how much I love Christy. I truly don't think there are words written that could adequately describe my love for my wife. She is my everything. And I love her and will continue to love until the end of time and for three more days after that.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I love you all"
