Title I: A Dad’s Love
Today I go to the Oncologist for my follow up visit. I’ll be there in 30 minutes. I’m scared as fuck but plan on doing whatever it takes to stick around for a long ass time. I wanted to share this because cancer has me in thought and I wrote a kid’s book about love (amongst other stuff). Here it is- it needs a little work and an illustrator. No matter what he says, I hope that for the rest of my life I always have the intention to make the world a better place through love. Should I stray, because I’m human, I hope to realign with that intention. Love is my intention.
Fingers crossed that he gives me some good news today! Last time he said, “Don’t freak out yet.” I hope he doesn’t say, “Okay, now it’s time to freak out!” Instead presents a great plan that is doable and something I can conquer.
Here’s my little kid’s story. (Draft of course) (Ron says I need to shorten it and I likely will but want to put it out in its raw form too).
A Dad should love you…. Here
A Dad should love you…. There
A Dad should love you…. Over here
A Dad should love you…. Over there
A Dad should love you…. No matter what you wear.
A Dad should love you…. With any kind of hair.

And when the sun shines the shadows away.
