“What I learned from my 48th round around the sun“, Why not, not even a third stage tumor must leave you helpless. As James van der beekicon early 2000s of Dawson’s Creekshares its complicated moment on social media.
This is the history, the umpteenth, in short, of a tumor. Someone described the evil of the century and damn if he was right.
Even the actor, in fact, is facing a colon cancer diagnosed in 2023. And he wanted to invite everyone to prevention (he discovered the disease during a control colonoscopy).
What James Van Der Beek said
Today is my birthday and it was the most difficult year of my life – Freed Van Der Beek began.
When I was younger I called myself an actor, which he never satisfied me, and then I became a husband … it was much better and then I became a father … it was the best – he told his 1.6 million followers on Instagram.
Van der beek has six children With his wife Kimberly: Olivia, 14 years old, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 8, Gwendolyn, 6 and Jeremiah, 2.
I had to find myself face to face with death and all those definitions I cared about so deeply were removed.
The actor explained that he had to pass a period away from his family, alone in an apartment, to follow a care path:
I was far away for the care, so I could no longer be a husband who helped his wife. I could no longer be a father who took his children in his arms, put them in bed and was with them. I could no longer be financial support because I was not working. I found myself in front of the question: if I am just a man too thin, weak, only in an apartment, with cancer … who am I?
I am worthy of God’s love simply because they exist. And if I am worthy of God’s love, shouldn’t I also be worthy of mine? While through this healing portal towards recovery, I wanted to share this thought with you, because this revelation came thanks to all the prayers and the love that have been turned to me. I don’t pretend to know what God is or to explain it. My attempts to connect with God are a continuous process, a mystery that is constantly revealed for but. But if the word ‘God’ is a too religious concept for someone, you can simply say ‘I am worthy of love’. Because you are.
