for my Daddy

I am 5 Years old and this is why I relay

I relay for my daddy. When I wasn't even two years old my daddy was diagnosed with advanced metastatic Prostate Cancer. He had just turned 36! my daddy has had to have lots of medicine, chemo and radiation and sometimes he gets very sick.

It is hard for me to understand all of this, but I certainly know the word Cancer and how it has affected our lives.

Sometimes I get very angry about my daddy being sick. When I get really angry I have a hard time controlling my feelings and I will scream, kick and hit (usually I take it out on Mommy). Sometimes I get very sad that my daddy is sick. I need lots of extra hugs and I will stick to my mommy like glue.

One thing I can tell you is how much I love my daddy. We love to play together and he makes me very happy. Even when he is really sore, we find a way to play. I want to keep playing with my daddy for a long time.
THIS IS WHY I RELAY.
I am raising money for realy, so maybe my daddy won’t have to take so much medicine;
