Letter to Jackson from Dada
Dear Jackson,
It‘s Dada. I am writing this to tell you how much I love you. You are only 4 years old right now, so you can’t read this yet, but I know you’ll understand how I feel. I see an incredible love and understanding in you every day.
I want you to know you are my everything. You make me laugh and cry, you put a smile on my face when nothing else can, and you make me believe. I believe in you.
I wish I could take this all away from you. Take your burden from you, to carry it myself. To make your immune system whole. If there was a way to do that, I would have done it long ago. Your mother and I would do anything to ensure your health and safety. And so we are doing everything that can be done. We are trying to make a miracle. A miracle that will be both your sister and your savior.
I want to make you this promise. We will get through this together. Life has been extraordinarily tough for you, and we still face some very dark days ahead. But, together we can always find the light. I promise you this, son: I will never stop fighting for you. I will never stop trying to help you. I will never stop loving you.
Love,
Dada
