It Came Back

July 30, 2021 Jasmine M. 8 Comments

On this very day last year, our lives changed forever with this photo. Looking back on the months following, I couldn't see an ending in sight. And then, On May 9, 2021, Sariyah completed all 11 courses of chemotherapy! ...

I just want to start by saying I am so grateful that you are here. I was born and raised in the south, and consume way too much coffee. I’m married to my best friend, and we have 5 kids + 1 hyperactive weimaraner! In the summer of 2020 our lives were turned upside down forever — when our youngest daughter was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma.

We were thrown head first into a completely different world. Through the grief I’ve vowed to do my best to raise more awareness and to advocate for childhood cancer. I’ve shared my daughter’s story with Good Morning America, Today’s Parents and many other news outlets.

I believe in sharing our stories, because that’s where the connection and healing starts. It is my biggest passion to encourage others through my own stories. I don’t have all the answers, fashion or beauty tips. But what I do have is a deep desire in my soul to bring Jesus all the glory through my story. I want to; encourage, uplift, and inspire others to see and live life through the lens of grace. And laugh a little, because sometimes you just need either a good laugh or cry. I hope you will pull up a chair, kick back, and join me. There’s always a seat at the table for you here! For more encouragement and daily posts on Sariyah’s journey you can find me here. -With Love, Jasmine
