Jessica Simpson has a lot to celebrate.
While sharing a special moment from her now 11-year-old daughter’s birthday, the mom of three also revealed her father Joe Simpson’s cancer prognosis.
Alongside a photo of Maxwell Drew Johnson holding up her mother, Jessica shared how her daughter chose what to wish for on her birthday.
“She told me after she blew out HER 11 candles…’I made a wish that was for me and you and actually the whole family.’ I said Maxi it should be your wish, and she said ‘we have the same wishes Mom.'”
Jessica explained how three days later the family was traveling back from California when Maxwell overhead her reading a text she had received from her father.
“GiGi if my birthday wish came true already can I say it out loud or do I still keep it to myself?” the 11-year-old asked her grandmother, Jessica’s mother and Joe’s ex-wife Tina.
“My mom told her to share it with everyone if she wanted to, especially if it had already come true…,” Jessica wrote.
“Maxwell’s birthday wish was for her Papa Joe’s bone cancer treatment to work. It did,” she wrote, revealing her father’s cancer diagnosis.
Joe previously battled prostate cancer in 2016. He underwent surgery and radiation and was declared cancer-free.
“I feel good. I beat it. I have zero cancer,” he told Us Weekly at the time. “I went from Stage IV to cancer free.”
“Thank you, Maxi Drew, for usin’ your wish on our family and most importantly, my Dad,” Jessica continued. “You are mesmerizing, steadfast, intelligent, passionate, generous, loving, devoted, inspiring, enticing, confident, empathetic, powerful, intuitive, beautiful, DETERMINED, enlightened and FULL OF WONDER. The faith of a child is what keeps all of us ALIVE.”
