Thanks to the @washingtonspirit ⚽️ 🏟️ and @smackks for inviting us to the Washington Spirit Cancer Awareness game today!! We started off dry…but when it started pouring we went with the flow! @megegallagher got to go out on the field and ring the giant bell 🔔 for surviving CANCER. We met some other childhood cancer survivors and the @makeawishamerica and @childrensnational friends. And Meg got a super cool scarf!! (We definitely will come back in the fall when it’s not 🌧️.)

Happy Birthday, Meg! 🎉

Since she was 13 years old, Meg has been navigating more than most people face in a lifetime. But instead of letting her journey define her limits, she continues to show the world what resilience and courage really look like.

Meg chooses joy. Again and again.

She continues to share her story to lift others up and advocate for families facing childhood cancer and chronic illness. And through her charitable organization @megsgiveback, she’s bringing that joy directly to families.

I had the privilege of photographing Meg and her family two years ago and again last year at the Meg’s Giveback fundraiser concert. I can attest to the magnitude of her spirit, strength, and heart.

The world is so much brighter because you’re in it, Meg. Happy Birthday! 💕

On Sunday afternoons I put together a week’s worth of Meg’s medicine. It’s not that she can’t do it - that girl knows exactly what she is taking and even how to pronounce most of those medicines. This is my gift to her - one of the small things I can do to help her get through her day and her week. It is amazing to see all the RX and supplements she takes. And this didn’t even include her once a month IVIG infusion and bi-weekly Dupixent shots. But I will tell you it is working. She knows that she feels better when she sticks to the regimen and so she does. Chronic illness sucks. I hate that she is suffering and that she needs - gestures with arms - all of this to feel better. But I am happy to do this one little thing for her. 💖

Life is often measured in before and after. Many of us talk about before/after the pandemic. But for our family, it has been measured in “before Meg had cancer and after.” Today it has been 10 years since we heard those terrifying words that changed our world forever. I don’t know if I’ll ever know how we got through the immediate days after, the horrifying weeks of chemo treatment that turned into the long months of maintenance, and the anxiety-inducing years of follow up care. But she did it and she is now a survivor. And life is different for all of us now.

It’s almost Christmas and I hate that we have the reminder of this “before and after” in our life at this time of year. Wherever you are in your own “before and after” measurement of life, remember that this is what Advent is here to teach us…that as we sit in the darkest times of our lives, our hope will out weigh our fears, and the love of God will find us. That’s what Christmas is about.
