    Changing perspectives

    February 14, 2018

    I remember a little girl that I couldn’t keep inside. It didn’t matter what the weather was she was out climbing trees, making everyone a mud dinner, watching ants move across the yard, and running. Always running. 

    You wouldn’t know it by looking at her now but when sh...

    Purging the past

    February 1, 2018

    We’ve been busy around here remodeling the bathroom and going through 40 years worth of stuff. It’s amazing to me the things we’ve kept because we convinced ourselves that they’re important or that they hold memories.

    Last Dose

    January 10, 2018

    So tonight I took my last dose of the oral, pill form of chemo that I am on (temozolomide). 

    Last dose!!!

    I should be happy. I should be celebrating! I want to celebrate. Rather, I want to WANT TO celebrate. But the truth is that I am scared. I’m terrified! What happens...

    Chemo

    January 7, 2018

    It’s chemo time again. This should be the last round of the temozolomide (the pill form she takes five days in a row at home). I’m happy it’ll be the end of this chemo because it makes her so sick. The headache came the first day. She’s mixed up a special brew of essen...

    Best Christmas ever!

    December 28, 2017

    My Christmas Eve began with what I consider a miracle. Jennifer was laying on the couch and decided that she wanted to move to the recliner across the room. Her walker was out of reach so, instead of asking someone to get it for her, she stood up, put her arms out for...

    So my mom, Jayme, Aiden, and I all decided to do some shopping today. There are some last minute items we all needed. We decided to check out the Outlets of Des Moines in Altoona. None of us had been there previously and it was something I was looking forward to!

    Jen

    I have had people say, after hearing about my medical issues, that God must hate me. WOW! How could anyone ever think that? Everyone has struggles in life. EVERYONE! God loves me so much that He recognized that I needed tougher struggles in order to learn and grow as a...

    I hate the chemo days. I mean I hate the entire “my daughter is fighting cancer “ thing but the chemo treatments are the worst. Knowing there’s nothing I can do to take away the nausea, migraines that don’t let up for days, extreme fatigue. You moms know what I’m talki...

    Hello, everyone!

    I’m old, fat, and grey! And I’m okay with all of that because with each of those labels comes...
