Brain cancer is...

...leaving us speechless.

Today was the Bower's Museum and then, as my mom called it, couples' night out for the sandwich generation.  Here's us heading for Cat and the Custard Cup.  It was fabulous.  Thanks Matt and Mer.  

 

 

But, before that, we had a visit from the CSUF contingent consisting of Kim Case (faculty friend and Titan alum) and Titan alums and teachers extraordinaire Courtney Crites and Monica True. 

They came bearing gifts from hundreds of Team D members.  The journal you see me holding has page after page of "favorite places."  Each page (or more accurately "spread" as art journalers call completed works) has images related to the journalist(s)' favorite place--or one of ours--along with personal messages and incredibly generous gifts for visiting those places...along with photo spaces for our future pics at each locale.

We are speechless.  The monetary value of this journal is impressive on its own, plus the emotional and artistic value?  The time it took project leaders to put it together?  Priceless.  There is an entry by a brewery manager who donated a gift card when he heard about Darrell's team. There are entries from children in classes of Titan teachers who include the arts.  There are entries from current Titan block members and their faculty.  There are entries from alums...and from their parents (are you kidding me?).  There are spreads from EDEL faculty emeriti and from current faculty members in EDEL and from across CSUF's College of Education. So many team members.  So much love.  

Here.  You watch:

The message of leaning into the future and enjoying every adventure life has to offer just has us grasping for words.  How do we say thank you for such a host of voices expressing one message of hope and joy? 

Truly adventure awaits.  I am not sure we could do it without you..
