“I don’t need a watch to tell the time. I don’t need the sun to help me shine” -Shawn Mendes
Sully’s cancer journey started when he was diagnosed with Acute B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 10 years old.
This month he completed his first year of normalcy and is cancer free.
There are follow ups with doctors, but as of a year ago there is no more chemotherapy, no more sleeping off the poison, no more spinal taps, no more drugs, and no more restrictions.
In Shawn Mendes words, our life has been defined not by a watch, but by these moments and milestones we never anticipated.
He is in the process of rebuilding his body and although he doesn’t speak of it, he is also healing the deeper wounds associated with a cancer battle. In a sense we are all returning to a life that is not overwhelmed with medical procedures and overshadowed by fear.
I will never forget the pit in my chest the day he was diagnosed. Thank you to all of our friends and family for your support over these years.
I love you Sully and I thank God every single day for your presence, your company, and your strong beautiful soul. You are my hero. You will never walk alone.
