These past few years have been profoundly challenging. I have seen several people I deeply care about endure devastating loss due to cancer, while others continue to support loved ones battling this relentless disease. For me, the most personal and heartbreaking loss was my father, who passed away in March 2023 after a courageous fight against terminal pancreatic cancer at the age of 54.

My father was one of my greatest role models. He embodied kindness, selflessness, intelligence, humor, and an undeniable uniqueness that made him truly special. He had an extraordinary ability to bring joy to everyone he met, always putting smiles on their faces. Even as he faced unimaginable pain, he continued to uplift those around him with his strength and humor. Words cannot fully express the love, admiration, and gratitude I feel for him.

Cancer is a cruel and unpredictable disease that turns lives upside down without warning. It has left a lasting impact on my life and has strengthened my resolve to live intentionally and prioritize my health.

I hold onto the hope that one day, medical advancements will lead to a cure for this devastating illness. In the meantime, I will continue to honour my father’s memory by striving to lead a life that reflects his strength, resilience, and love for others.

Thank you for reading. I wish you and your loved ones health, happiness, and strength 💜🎗️
