I watched my child die and wished so many things I hadn't said were said. Things that I was worried would make it worse for her. Her fragile emotions, as fragile as it could be as a 7 year old who subconsciously knew she was dying. I had 12 months to prepare, and there I laid, wounded, voiceless, frozen. No amount of "warning" can prepare you for watching your child breathe three last times. It's always three last times. No amount of science or faith can save you from that moments sobering reality. My childhood trauma, the fight to escape, was nothing compared to watching her fight to live. To fight to be with us just one more day. She was stronger than all of us, and there we were. Blank. I know what I'd say. Again... "I'm so sorry... I don't know why. I wish I did. I wanted to save you. I will try to save others. Your friends. Their kids. I will keep you alive. You are so special. So much more than this life. You won't be alone in heaven. Don't cry. I promise it will be amazing there. I'll see you soon. I will be there. Please wait for me if I'm not." On, and on, and on... I wanted to say so much more. So very much more. She deserved more. She deserved some answers. If this was your last day, or if it was the last day to say something to someone you loved, your child, what would you say? Just the thought makes people pause. I know. Me too... #KatherineTheBrave #DIPG #EndDIPG #MoreThan4
