Me and my triplet brothers were diagnosed with brain cancer at five years old. We all started chemo therapy right away. I remember after our first session we all went home to shave our heads. Our younger sister (who was two at the time) offered to give her hair to us. But she eventually decided being bald was too weird for her taste. After three years of chemo, I was cured. I no longer had to fear myself. But my brothers were not lucky. The chemo was not working. And the cancer was still growing. They accepted their fate. They were told they had one to five years to live. We traveled to every continent that year. My brother Oakley passed away at nine years old. He should have had more time. My other brother Ashton stayed with us for four more years. But at thirteen years old, he too was gone. I did not understand. We were meant to be Willow, Ashton, and Oakley. We were meant to be *Wendy, John, and Michael. I was never meant to recover alone. I still had my Tinkerbell, Ceader. My sister. She did not know what it was like to go through this type of thing. But she was still there for me.
Me and my triplets loved the woods. Peter Pan was our favorite book, movie, musical. Our favorite thing in general. We dressed up as the Darling children when we were diagnosed. Every year after that we would dress up and take a picture. This year I took one. I will not take one next year. My journey with cancer is over. My and Ashton sung this song at Oakley's funeral. And I sang it at Ashton's.
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely, " and ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
And for always I will say
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
I will never forget you lost boys.
