Happy Tornado Day! 👯♀️ If ya missed it we made today a familial holiday to celebrate Tornado. 🎉 If you’re super new Tornado is my mom’s nickname. Cuz she’s cray. 🤪 It’s been a minute since I have seen my mom laugh. Heck it’s been a second since I have even seen her even smile. 😔 Cancer is the absolute worst. …But after 8 grueling weeks of challenges I feel like Tornado is finally feelin’ herself again. 💃 She kicked cancer right in the TUSH. We wanted to make today real special to celebrate. When ya go through cancer in the family it instantly creates a bond with thousands of others who have gone through the same. 💪🏻
Cancer touches doctors and nurses and sons and daughters and women and men and children and adults. You can’t really understand the suffering and havoc it brings to a family unless you experience it firsthand. Tornado day was about us finally seeing our mom back. 💁🏼♀️ But it was also a giveback to those still fighting the good fight. 🙌🏼 We really just want to thank a couple of people here personally. 🙏🏼 Thank you to all of the doctors and nurses at @utswmed that cared for my mom every step of the way through chemo and radiation. 👩⚕️ Thank you to @tartecosmetics for helping us pull off this wild idea to bless some people today. 💄 And thank you to @texasccf for being a steward of resources to help beat cancer for families beyond my own. 👏🏻
And last but not least thanks to all of my kind and supportive people over here on the internet. 👯♀️ I have known some of y’all for 8 years. 🤓 I have seen more goodness, loving-kindness, and support from this community in the past 8 weeks than I have in the past 8 years combined. I love you guys. My family loves you. And Tornado appreciates you in ways that will never make sense in words. 💕 Happy Tornado Day! Praise God. And EFF cancer. ✌🏻💪🏻💕
