Choosing Not To Be Average
"Choose to not be the average. Choose to let your faith lead you. Believe that you will be healed. Keep the faith. Keep looking for treatments and trials, and new medicines with us; because, there is only one who knows the time frame of our lives." These are the words that Jessica's oncologist shared with her shortly after she and Jason returned from MD Anderson in June of 2013.
Life is priceless. Time is precious. But, it isn't a matter of seconds, minutes, hours, or even years. It is a matter of moments. The moments that we choose to create and hold precious. When Jessica was diagnosed in April of 2013 we were told we had less than 18 months. What do doctors know! We have had 25 months of treasurable moments.
Unfortunately, Jessica's times here on earth is no longer a matter of months or even weeks. It is now just a matter of time before she leaves for heaven. Jessica returned home under the care of hospice at the beginning of May.
Jessica loves people. Having people visiting her brings her great joy. We want nothing less for her, even now. We want to make the most of the time she has left.
Thank you to those of you who have come to visit with her and sit beside her. Please know that you have made her time here on earth a treasure trove of moments. And, we, her family, thank you.
