Awesome surprise at @cheohospital today!! Both boys super excited to be in the MDU waiting room now! Thank you to all those who contributed to this great addition to the hospital!#technology #morethanfour #childhoodcancerawareness #medulloblastoma #chemotherapy #hospitallife #lifewithboys #boymom Last day in Paradise and I released the flowers from the lay I lovingly received on arrival. As I released the flowers to the ocean I let go of all my worries and should’s and all I cannot control. I made wishes on each flower for friends, family, self and for Aiden and released them into the rolling waves; letting the ocean take them into the unknown with faith that all I wished for will come true. I had lost this feeling of hopefulness for so long but I finally felt it again. I did not even know how lost in sadness I had become till I felt this powerful hope build in me. I felt at peace and felt love and clarity for the first time in so long. Now back home I look at this photo as a reminder of how easy it is to get swept away, taken under by a powerful ocean wave not knowing which way is up and forgetting to breath, but we have a choice and sometimes we just need to take a moment. We can take a moment to center ourselves, stop and look around and breath and see our destinations and dreams and swim for them not in panic and fear and sadness but with hope and that is when peace and clarity will be found Pure joy! Aiden has asked to go see How to Train your Dragon 3 for a year now. “When is it coming out?” “Is it out yet?” I would reply with “In the Spring” with hidden tears as The talk of the future made me weep, having been told we only had a couple months. Little weepy in the movie today one year later! It was so much more then a movie and Aiden gave me the biggest hug “thank you Mom so much for bringing me!” No Thank You Aiden for being a warrior!! #childhoodcancerawareness #medulloblastoma #chemotherapy #fuckcancer #morethanfour #howtotrainyourdragon #specialmoments #lovelife My boys have definitely changed me, Aidens voyage has definitely changed me. I always told myself I would be an awful mom if I had a special needs child. I also always had a fear and strange curiosity around cancer. How does someone even know they have cancer? Thinking it was invisible, I had asked myself this question numerous times over the years. Thinking it was some myth to scare people into eating right and not smoking. I may not do it right all the time but I know I am not that bad at this life god has thrown us in and it really has shaped me into a stronger more confident mother. I have learned to appreciate small things that much more, learned to have more patience and roll with what life has given me. I have learned how little people really need to live. I have learned to love more deeply, to love myself more and make my happiness a priority just as much as those around me. I have learned to kick at the dark until I see light as this is what will give me strength to go on and know that this is bigger then me. I can only control myself and my actions and at the end of the day I know I have given my all. Would I chose another life, free of cancer? Hell yes! I have never hurt or loved so deeply but I do appreciate all this life has taught me about this world and myself. #childhoodcancer #medulloblastoma #momofboys #chemotherapy #motherhood #specialneeds #live #love #bekind #behumble #internationalchildhoodcancerday A reminder to all the childhood cancer parents on Valentine’s Day to take a moment and love themselves for all they are and do and give up every single day!
