The Latest

So, I feel badly for taking so long to update you. I don't think it's fair to ask for your prayers and not let you know what has happened since (with my little one). Well, we're doing chemo again. They think they can shrink it to get more of the tumor. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get back to you, except that these things are difficult to discuss. Also, I've been trying to work on being more present with my daughter. I feel that all the responsibilities of being an adult rob us of the opportunity to enjoy life and be present in the moment. I'll never forget how one of my parents expressed regret when learning that they would likely soon lose their life. I remember them saying that they would do some things differently... I don't want to leave this life with major regrets. I want to savor as much as I can! I want to enjoy my little one, rather than spending my life trying to provide for her...or, spending it planning for some date in the future to actually begin living and obtaining those irreplaceable memories. Each day, I'm working towards these goals and am getting rather impatient each day I haven't fully figured out how to make it happen. Instead of my maternal biological clock, now, I'm hearing father time saying "tomorrow/one day is toda!". So, about face!

  1. Sending so many prayers to your little one and you! Praying that you have peace during this time. The best thing in life is to be present and to love hard on the people that mean the most to you. I agree, I want to live a life with no regrets.

    1. Yes. I've been saying one day for too long. It's finally dawned on me that I'm not exempt from the possibility of an early departure--God, forbid!
