Sorry!!! I know I’ve been
slacking so badly. I haven’t updated you guys in over a week probably! I have
tons of good news though so here we go.
HE’S HOME! Mason came home
on Tuesday. First period on that day I got a text from him (sorry, teachers),
and he said that he would be home by
the following day. Of course I freak out and get really excited in class, but
tried to keep it subtle as I was blatantly ignoring our school’s phone policy.
Next period, I had a study hall so I was using my phone to listen to music. I
got another text from Mason in our family group message saying, “WOOOOOHOOOO
TODAY IS THE DAY!” I kid you not when I tell you that I cried. I looked at my
phone, smiled, then just cried. I have never felt so happy, excited, and
relieved all at once. Just think, he’s home right now in between his first
round of chemo and the next. Imagine what we’ll all do when he comes home when
chemo is over!
So anyway, Mason is home.
It’s an amazing feeling to come home from work or school and see him in my
family room or walk into his own room before I go into mine for the night
instead of just passing by it. I could not describe to you how it feels, as I’m
sure no one else in my family could either. As usual, words are inadequate,
insufficient, unsatisfactory. They’re just not enough. Morgan will also be
coming home for the weekend! She flies in tonight and will be joining the
family all the way from North Carolina. It will be almost strange to have the
whole family together… at home! I can’t remember the last time we were all
together here. I really can’t wait.
Tonight at Malvern Prep,
they are having a cancer awareness night. Parker will be speaking at it along
with Eric Campbell, Leo Carlin, and others. This night is dedicated to
awareness of childhood cancer and just how it affects the families of those
involved. People are going to show their support and get a new perspective.
It’s honestly going to be an awesome event. I can’t wait to see everyone who
comes out to support, but no worries. If you can’t come out tonight I’ll be posting
a video of Mason after the event.
As always, thank you for
everything you all have been doing. The support continues to be incredibly
breathtaking. We realize how lucky we are more and more every single day. Keep
praying everyone, but Mason’s getting better, and we’re glad to have him home.
It must be soooo wonderful to finally have Mason home! We're such in awe of all of you! You are truly an inspiration and amazing to all of us. We know Mason will make a full recovery because he's a fighter and he's got so many people fighting and praying for him. Keep up the strong fight, Mason, we're all behind you!! We love and miss you all. Denise, Dino, Nick & Alec
