Battling Cancer
At a very young age, Mila Sneddon was diagnosed with leukemia. And currently, the 4-year-old is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Not an ideal situation for her, given that COVID-19 is life-threatening to those who have pre-existing medical conditions. It could be dangerous for them since their immune system is already weak.

A Father's Love

Mila's father, Scott, knew this very well. He needed to continue going to work during the pandemic. And he never wanted to risk his daughter's health of what he might bring at home every day. So he provided a solution to protect his daughter from himself. Scott decided to temporarily move out of their house.

Since then, the 50-year-old can only see Mila through their kitchen window. Unfortunately, they can only see each other every day in this way. The father and daughter could only wave and give air-hugs.

Quarantined

But later on, Scott's employer decided to pause work and placed him on government furlough. The father isolated himself for several weeks before he decided to go home. He wanted to surprise his daughter so she had no idea that he was coming home.

That's why when her dad visited again, Mila thought he was still working. To her surprise, her dad actually stepped inside the house. And she was overwhelmed with joy to finally get to hug her dad after seven long weeks.

Thankfully, someone captured this beautiful moment.

Reunited

"I'm going to come home today," Scott told his smiling 4-year-old through the window. Of course, Mila got super excited. Then her dad confirmed what he said, "Right now."

Finally, he walked through the door and held his sweet daughter in his arms. Both shared a long-awaited hug after seven long weeks of being apart.

Beating Cancer As A Family

While Scott was forced to stay away from his daughter, Lynda, Scott's wife took care of Mila. During this time Lynda's mother passed away.

She said, "It's been difficult—it's been challenging. We continue to push through, it's not easy for anybody but Mila is really resilient and inspires us every day."

It has been a challenging time for the family—the loss of a grandmother, a sick child, and separation. But needless to say, by God's grace they remained strong.
