The nurses told him to ring the bell 🔔
He said he’d wait.
We met at seventeen, during cancer treatment 🏥
Different diagnoses.
Same fight.

He finished first.
He could’ve walked away.
He didn’t 🤍
Months later, we rang the bell together 🔔✨
Side by side. Survivors.

Life after wasn’t easy — fear, follow-ups, learning how to live again.
Now, ten years later: no hospital halls, no bell to ring, just family 🤍👨👩👧👦
He didn’t just wait for the bell.
He stayed for everything that came after 💫
