Mia came at such an increcibly difficult time. Dennis and I were so happy to have a third child. Then when I was about three months pregnant Dennis's cancer diagnoses came. We were in a state of shock. My pregnancy flew. We were so busy trying to fight Dennis's cancer with his intense chemotheraphy treatments and radiation that the whole pregancy was overlooked. Thank god we put all are time and effort into trying to make Dennis better because of that Dennis got to see the birth of are daughter Mia and almost 2 years with her. His goal was to travel with his girls and make memories. That he did ,we were able to take a trip to the pahjama's , even with Mia. At a time when I couldn't believe or understand why this would happen. We had such a great life . That we were blessed with having another child than on the other hand we were dealt with the horrible fear of Dennis's cancer.All I can say is I will never make sense of any of this but Mia was so meant to be she is the bright light in a lot of this sadness. Alana, Elise, & Mia have been the driving force that keeps me going. They are all so much like Dennis. I get to see bits and pieces of Dennis all day. If I can't get the real thing. I'll settle for that,I know dennis is looking down and smiling and laughing at the same things I am.Love you Dennis ,Jodi & the girls oxoxForever!!!!
