LDL. A Quiet Day of Hope for 14-Year-Old Will Roberts as He Continues His Cancer Battle
For the Roberts family, some of the most meaningful moments don’t come in hospital rooms or during scans — they come during quiet days at home, when fear briefly gives way to peace.
Today was one of those days for 14-year-old Will Roberts.
After weeks of difficult treatments and exhausting symptoms, Will experienced a small but powerful victory: he didn’t throw up once all day. Instead, he took a warm bath, climbed into his mom’s bed, and rested beside her for hours — something that now feels far more precious than it once did.
“I didn’t realize how mentally exhausted I was until I woke up in a panic, not even sure where I was,” Will’s mom, Brittney, shared. “So today, I just soaked in the quiet. I laid beside him and let myself breathe.”
Will is currently battling bone cancer, a fight that has taken him and his family on a long and painful journey. Between treatments, hospital visits, and difficult scan results, the Roberts family has learned to treasure even the smallest moments of normalcy.
As Will slept beside her, Brittney reflected on how special her son has always been — even long before cancer entered their lives.
She remembered a meeting with Will’s kindergarten teacher years ago, when she and her husband Jason worried their spirited little boy might be in trouble. But instead of bad news, they were reminded of something much deeper: Will was thoughtful, sensitive, and full of imagination — the same qualities that now help carry him through the hardest fight of his life.
“He’s always been good,” Brittney said. “And he still is.”
Today wasn’t marked by medical milestones or major breakthroughs. But in a battle this hard, a calm day without sickness, spent holding hands and resting, is a powerful reminder that hope still lives.
As Will continues his fight, his family remains grateful for every prayer, every message, and every moment of peace.
Sometimes, the quiet days matter the most. 💙
