Day 174 // ‘Re’ Mission Accomplished
The long awaited day with the news we were hoping for - remission. Words cannot explain the flood of emotions.
Day 169 // Strength and Courage
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.
It takes strength to fit in,
Day 165 // My Sister, My Friend
To me you are an angel in disguise.
Full of intuition, intelligent, and wise.
Day 161 // Facing Forward
No one ever said that moving forward would be easy.
Day 159 // Community
Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.
Day 156 // Grace Wins Every Time
Everything is as it should be. Grace wins.
Day 155 // Rejoice!
Tuesday night, 9PM -
Gia: "Mommy, I just want your chemo to be over."
Me: "Me too, baby...me too..."
Day 154 // ’Twas the Night Before Chemo
'Twas the night before chemo, when all through the house,
None of our dogs were stirring, maybe if they saw a mouse.
Day 153 // The Sequel – Survivorship
Two weeks from today my post-chemo CT scan is scheduled. While the results will not be immediate, we will know within days if the past five months of treatment was a success.
Day 151 // Avoidance
So no one ever told me there would be a sequel to this journey...until yesterday.
