I lost my father to cancer December 16th, 1996. I was 21, he was only 45. I thought I would never recover from the heartbreak. However, I had 21 wonderful years with him, and he had 21 years to see me grow, graduate from school, teach me to drive and be my friend. We went to movies and the mall. He bought me a car, even after I stole and wrecked his once. 21 years still doesn't feel enough though at times.
But losing a child at any age is beyond heartbreak. It's a tragedy.
I am shaving my head for my father Rick Williams.
I am shaving my head for my friend Daniel Gomez. Forever 3 years old.
No movies, cars, school for Daniel The Brave. He went into battle so young, and without new treatment for his disease, his amazing parents only got 3 years.
I am shaving my head to raise money to give parents more years with their beautiful children.
