YES!!! I have had that experience from both sides — I even crafted an SM’s minute on that point. I watched my Dad wither away from stoke, diabetes, and amputation — I felt the impact as a son. Flash forward thirty years and now I must depend on my sons — I feel the impact as a dad. I watched my dad cry when I cleaned him up after a bathroom visit — I pray that I will be stronger when my time comes.
May God keep you in the palm of his hands, my dear nephew❤️
@Susan is right, other people being heroes doesn't take away from our own deeds. The vulnerability, strength and composure you are showing allows others to see that we too can be brave in the face of adversity. You leaning on them was you all being there for each other. The cool take away is that when meet people where they are we end up lifting each other up.
They don't learn what we say or we teach/lecture.... but what we do! You got that right!♥️
Leading by example, with love and respect.
Have you read the Jungle book (not the movie)? At some point Akela no longer can lead the pack, and needs Mowgli....who still has a lot to learn from him.
Beautifully said! Love the pics keep praying God is not finished what he’s doing in you. Keep confessing healing he loves you and has a plan. You’re in my prayers too brother! ❤️🙏❤️🙌🏼
You’ve been an example of strength to more than just your boys. These courageous posts show strength to all who face their own unique challenges. Thank you for sharing these insights. You and yours remain in our prayers for a complete defeat of your cancer.
This was really powerful, Chris. If I could draw an analogy from the work environment, the most respected leaders I ever worked for were those who showed vulnerability at times. They weren’t diminished by it—instead, it made them more human, more relatable, and ultimately more inspiring. They were the kind of leaders I aspired to be like.

Don't kid yourself, you still are the hero and always will be.
