Dear supporters,
The past few month’s have been an incredible journey in many ways. A few weeks ago I turned to Beth and said, “I think I’ve felt all of the emotions today.” It sure feels like that quite a bit. There has been no shortage of fear, anxiety, depression, etc. But beyond all of that, we have been held up by the overwhelming outpouring of support we’ve received from our friends, family, our family’s friends, and even our friend’s families! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve teared up (in a good way) when Jake or Dad have updated us on the progress of this gofundme. We will never be able to adequately express our gratitude for what you have done for our family. Thank you.
As I write, I’ve been thinking about the saying “life’s not ended, it’s changed.” This week is certainly a reminder of that. Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. It’s been interesting to try and plan our celebration this year. Where can we go see a major firework display with ample access to actual bathrooms? Luckily, we’ve got some options. My cancer diagnosis has made it clear not to take these moments for granted. Right now life has changed, and while we have every reason to hope for a good prognosis following liver surgery, there is no guarantee that “we can just celebrate next year.” Your gift has allowed us to worry about how we will go see fireworks instead of worrying about how we will pay my most recent hospital bill.
So in the end, thank you. Thank you for your financial contribution. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for being there for our family. To those of you whom we’ve never met, it is my prayer that we will always be inspired by your charity and pay it forward to those whom we have not yet met.
Sincerely,
Adam Wright
