Often times we focus on the person battling cancer and forget about their loved ones who support them day in & day out. Life is never as it once was. It’s a hard reality to face and can easily crush anyone who has to “stay strong” and fight the battle along side. It’s a job no one ever thinks is going to happen but when it does, they’re there to pick up the pieces. Unless you’ve been in that position, you’ll never truly appreciate what they do.
Jamie’s husband, Garrick, is one of those people. For 3 solid years, his beautiful wife has been battling Acinic Cell Carcinoma (not to mention the multiple occurrences, surgeries & radiation treatments in the past). The grueling days and nights have been relentless. It has been a battle no one anticipated & everything about their life has changed. Luckily, Jamie has been able to take the last 7 months off of chemo by taking on another full-time job of juicing, vitamin infusions (& much more) which has helped her physically have more energy to do some of the things they used to… as well as work on their bucket list items! Unfortunately life has taken another swing to the gut & earlier this month, Garrick’s mother, “Gramee” (pictured) was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I honestly don’t know how he’s coping with all of this on top of everything else he has on his shoulders.
Please just join me in praying for Garrick & all of the family and friends of those battling on the front lines of cancer. Pray for strength, peace and sanity as this is one hell of a hard battle to fight. Until the day we get to say “Cancer is a thing of the past”, we all need to help not only those diagnosed but the caregivers as well.
