Your ambition

I haven't written one of these for a while. Not since finding out. You've gotten weaker and you're now pale. You're in pain and I feel so guilty that I can't do anything to help you.

But I try.

I cuddle with you and I hold your hand the entire time we're at a doctors visit. I let you cry on me and I give you baths when its a bad day.

Another thing i love is your ambition---your strength and determination. You tell me it's going to be okay and you won't die. I think you see how much this hurts me even if you're the one that's dying. No matter what, you continue to fight even though I see how much pain you are in right now.

You get back up and battle regardless. You eat with me even when you feel too weak to even open your eyes.

But you're still fighting, you promise me you'll make it and I never protest. I don't argue because I so desperately want to believe and live in the world where you'll live. Because you will live.

You'll read every single one of these and you'll cry (because I know you) and you'll be here with me.

I know you will.
