To say this has been a month no one ever imagines is possible in life is an understatement Late June… we find out my wife’s father has the same version of lung cancer she has been fighting/beating and that he can’t handle treatment so he only has weeks to live. At the same time, we find out her cancer is back in her hip socket. Better than in 7 spots like before but still, back. So, the oncologist determines 5 rounds of radiation starting July 20th July 4th comes around and we spend as much time as we can with her dad, traveling down to Delaware every week, sitting on the porch, letting him smoke and talk about anything and everything.. telling us “In 75 years they’re still going to be talking about me.. you know why? Because of how I was always smoking in the alley, in the alley (in his best singing voice)” July 10th, phone rings around 9am… we already knew why.. dad was gone. Quietly, peacefully, at home. But still gone, from the exact cancer she just beat. A complete mindfuck. No way to explain, no explanations, just gone. She asks herself why could she beat it and he couldn’t even handle treatment? Some things, we will never know the why to. Fast forward to today. She completes her 5th radiation session on her hip and get to ring the bell as a sign of completion. But, it’s not the same. She used to call dad right after every session to let him know how it went. But today, there was no call. She fights through the tears to let him know she made it, she did it for him, and she will continue to fight for him, and never stop. She is unstoppable She will never quit She is a saint And quietly, when cancer creeps in, she is a savage and will beat this again

A Love Story ♥️♥️ "Bro, drop her. There are plenty of normal girls." That's what my teammate muttered in the locker room the week Leah joined our cheer squad full-time. I was the starting quarterback. Team captain. The guy people expected to date the loudest girl in the room — the one with the biggest following and the brightest spotlight. Leah didn't fit that script. She had Down syndrome. She didn't chase attention. She didn't care about being seen. But she showed up. Every single time. While everyone else filtered in late, Leah was already stretching on the sidelines. When practice ran long and tempers ran short, she stayed steady. When I threw a bad pass and slammed my helmet in frustration, she didn't flinch — she just said, "You'll get it next drive. You always do." She believed in me before I believed in myself. She waited after practice to ask how the game plan was shaping up. In study hall, when my grades started slipping, she'd slide my notebook back toward me and say, "Focus. You said you wanted that scholarship." No one else noticed when I was overwhelmed. Leah did. I started walking her home after practice. She'd tell me about her routines, how long she'd dreamed of wearing that uniform, how she practiced cheers in her bedroom mirror when she was ten. She spoke about everything with this quiet certainty — like joy was something you could train for. Somewhere between late-night games and early morning classes, I realized something: I wasn't looking for her out of responsibility. I was looking for her because she was my calm. Before every kickoff, I'd scan the sidelines until | saw her. And when she caught my eye, she'd give me that small nod like she was saying, You're ready. After graduation, people assumed we'd drift apart. We didn't. We stayed through college applications and job rejections. Through cramped apartments and long-distance moves. Through cheap furniture and shared savings accounts. We built our life slowly - brick by brick, paycheck by paycheck. Leah still shows up. She still reminds me of the things I forget. Still believes in plans I haven't finished building. Still chooses me on ordinary Tuesdays. Fifteen years later, when | look across our kitchen table, I see the same girl who stood on the sidelines and steadied my heartbeat before every game. They told me to find someone "normal." I found someone extraordinary. And I'm still choosing Leah the same way I did at seventeen — not because it's easy. But because she's the best decision I ever made.
