“I was privy to a photo taken of you without your permission.”
“Today was a day I’ve been dreading. We’ve known the end was coming, but didn’t want it to come so fast. Just an hour after this picture, Chloe was gone. For the first time, she wasn’t here. When the kids came home from school, Wyatt asked where she was. All I could do was shake my head trying to keep my composure. It hadn’t clicked with them yet. My daughter asked if she could give Chloe another treat. We had to explain she couldn’t have treats anymore, she wasn’t here.”
“It took multiple trips to the doctors, hospitals and many, MANY appointments to discover what I was suffering from was actually anxiety.”

“I remember chunks of hair falling onto my pillow. My body transformed. It took a while to look in the mirror and see my naked face with no eyebrows, yellow eyes. Sometimes I wondered if I’d ever feel better. Then afterwards, it all hits you like a train and you sit there and literally think to yourself, ‘What the heck did I just go through and how in the world did we do it?’ Life after cancer is not easy. One side effect of chemo? Infertility.”
“I got the idea to do this project after being inundated with multiple ads every day enticing me with photos and emojis and offers to buy their product to get a ‘beach body’ or ‘bikini body’ or ‘summer body.'”
“From the moment I saw his little tiny self laying in that bed, I knew—that was my baby.”
“Evelyn, they said that because of you I wouldn’t be able to do this. Just know that I did this BECAUSE OF YOU.”
“I had my time. I had my quiet. I had my daily showers. I had my tidy home. I had my control of the remote. But not one of those things really matters, because I have you.”
“You don’t realize how silent a room can be when one person stops breathing… it’s deafening.”
