A month has felt like a year. Winnie’s vocabulary has literally doubled or tripled since we were first admitted to the oncology unit at. Since both surgeries, phrases like “purple boo boo” and “magic button” have become part of everyday conversation, referring to her nephrectomy and chemo port respectively. It’s heartbreaking to hear, but the confidence with which she talks about them and protects them is admirable. “No touch my button, dada.” She doesn’t know that her button will be poked and bothered for nearly a year. Amazingly, she’s already getting used to the installation and removal during treatment, which is simultaneously beautiful and heartbreaking.
That’s not to say any of this is easy. Take cancer out of the mix and we still have an opinionated 2.5-year-old. Anyone who’s met Winslow knows she carries herself with confidence and sass. She’s not afraid to let you know when she’s frustrated, often shouting “no thank you, mama” or “I don’t like that” or “I need space!” She’s so smart, but still limited in how she can express herself. One of her steroid medications has turned those toddler meltdowns up to a whole new level, truly living up to the phrase “roid rage.”

“Stage 2” — words I dreaded hearing. When we found out Winnie had cancer, there was a sliver of hope it might be stage 1 and not require treatment. When we got to our first oncology appointment, those words rang out like a hollow church bell, resonating and piercing, dizzying my thoughts as our doctor continued talking. There were so many “if this test comes back this way, it will mean this.” Winnie played with the social worker’s therapy dog, Nash, while we talked through the next 7–12 months of chemo.
I don’t like having dozens of tabs open in my browser, so I often go through and clean them up. I had a strange moment today while closing them out. I came across the searches from when I was in the ER with Winnie and first learned about the tumor. First: “blood in urine toddler.” Second: “wilms tumor.” Third: “wilms tumor survival rate.”
Through all of this, I keep thinking about the crew on Artemis II, farther from Earth than any humans in history. The timing feels ironic. I feel far away from everything. So many people have reached out, prayed, encouraged us, brought meals, and given Winslow gifts. The generosity is overwhelming. And yet, at the risk of sounding ungrateful, I have to admit that much of these days I feel numb and distant. So much of the news about Winslow has felt like one gut punch after another.

Given Winnie’s history with an undiagnosed bladder condition at birth, which has since resolved, the attending ER doctor suggested an ultrasound on her kidneys. Before that doctor could even follow up, a message came through with the results: “Internal development of left renal mass, suspicion of Wilms tumor. CT suggested for further evaluation.” The CT scan confirmed it: Winnie may have cancer. Her left kidney would need to be removed.
Fast forward to March 26. We moved from Tacoma to Seattle to get the best possible care for Winslow, and to be a bit closer to friends and family during this madness. Though she’s restless and annoyed, as any toddler would be, stuck in a stale hospital, I’ve never seen a more resilient human. She’s still smiling and laughing. Kissing and begging for her baby brother to be right next to her. Singing to Ms. Rachel and laughing at Little Bear while labs are drawn, IVs are placed, and she’s prepped for surgery. At 1:30 p.m., her kidney is removed.
Carrying her tiny, partially medicated body to the huge OR, surrounded by nearly a dozen medical staff, is the most surreal experience of my life. Her small frame is mostly limp, like a warm bag of sand. How did we get here? Why did it come to this for her? Why her? I am angry. I am thankful. I am confused. I kiss her as the strawberry flavored gas pushes her into sleep.
“The kidney and mass are out. She’s doing well.”
The surgeon greets us and tells us everything went exactly to plan. Very little bleeding. No rupture of the tumor. Let the recovery begin. Meghan gets to see her first after surgery since I took her in. When Mack and I are welcomed back, she still has her breathing tube in. The nurse echoes what the surgeon said: Winslow did amazing.

We welcomed Mack earth side on Thursday, February 19th, 2026 at 8:10 AM. He was happy and healthy, weighing 7 lbs 8 oz and measuring 19 inches long. Everything went smoothly during delivery, and we were so grateful for the care that helped bring him safely into the world.
Meghan, unsurprisingly, was an absolute rockstar. She was incredibly strong through the delivery and quickly jumped back into caring for a newborn like the pro she is. Watching her do this again has been such a gift.
Winslow has quickly embraced her role as big sister and started showering her baby brother with love. She had been counting down the days to meet him, and whenever she wasn’t with us all she talked about was “baby Mack.”
Merrick has an indirect meaning of “ruler of the sea,” from the Latin root mare (sea) and the Old Germanic rīc meaning ruler, king, or authority—fitting for our seafaring boy born by the water. Mack was also a name we loved from the moment we found out we were having a boy. Anytime we asked Winnie what we should name the baby, she would confidently say “Mack.” Green was my great-grandmother’s married name, who I spent summers visiting at the base of the Wasatch Range mountains in Utah.
When we were preparing for the day to arrive, we noticed there was a small chance of snow in the forecast. In a wishful moment, Meghan said, “I hope it snows, even a little bit, on the day he is born.” Sure enough, during a brief pause as we embraced life as a new family of four, a small flurry of snowflakes drifted past our hospital room window. It couldn’t have lasted more than five minutes, but it felt like a gentle reminder of how beautiful these moments are, and how quickly they pass if we don’t pause to take them in. After the journey it took to get here, we’re reminded what a miracle this all is. It’s so special getting to be a family of four. Welcome Mack!
How do I quantify my gratitude for a year filled with so much unexpected change? A new job. A new home. And most importantly—a baby boy on the way, arriving in February.
Winslow continues to grow, to be healthy, to laugh often, and to learn everything (which I need to check myself about). She’s creative, curious, and deeply loving.
Meghan is my light in the fog of life. She’s the glue that keeps things from unraveling. No one loves bigger, believes wider, or brings dreams to life like she does. And though she’d tell you she was over being pregnant months ago, she carries it all with such grace.
Life is not all flowers, and for many, this season holds sadness—loss, financial strain, and ongoing injustices. My sincere hope is that we can each be peacemakers in the small ways that are within our reach.
Happy Thanksgiving friends.

These days I’m the only one you’ll let put you down to sleep, and even though it presents some challenging coordination requirements, I know that these days and moments are fleeting.
This next year will bring many changes: a new sibling, potty training, a growing vocabulary, evolving interests. Sometimes I can’t wait to get you on a creek and onto a fish, or playing a guitar, or any other interest I want you to pick up. But I also want to freeze time and keep you this way forever. The reality is I can’t - so I’ll greet this new year with a bittersweet sense of curiosity for the next new thing your life brings.
Happy birthday sweet Winslow Louise! To another wonderful year as your dad!
