Together, Forever, We Fight

We’re in the depths of the darkest valley, where shadows are covering everything we hold near.

Early Monday morning on February 8th, our Mighty Millie ran into the almighty arms of Jesus where she is now healed and whole.

Her physical fight is over. But her light is here, and will live on forever.

We recently learned the devastating news that the cancer had returned and spread through Millie’s precious body while undergoing an intensive and integrative treatment plan. The chemotherapy was no longer working to fight the cancer, it found its way to dangerous parts of the body, and we didn’t have much time.

And just like every single day since her diagnosis, we began to fight—even harder. Our incredible Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center doctors and the Move for Jenn Foundation partnered with us and sought opinions from institutions all over the country, explored clinical trials, and fought for every available treatment option for what would be the very best for Millie.

We spent the month of January undergoing another grueling round of daily radiation treatments, followed by oral chemotherapy drugs from home. We asked the unthinkable of our brave, courageous, strong girl—to fight even harder. More treatment, more pokes, more scary car rides, more medicine, more side effects. And she did so valiantly. Yet, the cancer continued to grow. So we fought for every moment we had left earthside with our girl.

The most impossible ask of a parent is to now fight for ultimate Healing for your daughter. And that is exactly what we did. We spent every loving second reminding her that she is brave, strong, kind, a daughter of the King, and that her stories have changed the world forever.

Cancer didn’t win. Mighty Millie did.

We are left with excruciating pain and confusion and emptiness and heartache. What we need most right now is prayer as we close our doors and draw near to each other.

Together, forever, we fight.
