Journal entry by LaKeshia Wingo —
There’s an emotion void I have not been able to fill for Malik. The void comes from his biological father, paternal grandmother, and biological sisters being absent in every way during Malik’s journey to a cure. The financial burden of the miracle is the least of why I hurt behind this. Malik doesn’t think he is loved by them and this feeling is causing him to harbor anger and resentment. My prayer is that they will learn how to SHOW love. I will never doubt the live they have for my son, but he refuses to believe it exists because of their absence. The journey is far from over so they have plenty of time to get on board and contribute. Then there’s always a chance they still won’t even call to see how he’s doing...
