Brain cancer is...
...increasingly independent.
Yeah, yeah, everyone works. But today Andi worked for a full day far away (Riverside) from Darrell. Shout out to my carpooling CalTPA peeps Kim N, Dorothy, and Antoinette for signing the "must-leave-the-meeting-early-in-case-of-emergency-array-change" waiver.
And shout out to Darrell, who did chores all day long. I know this is going to cost me, legal-counsel-wise (Christine!), but full disclosure seems appropriate.
When Darrell and Andi reflected at the end of the day, Darrell said he's feeling much more independent.
We both thought that that notion was:
- Accurate.
- Odd. (How did we get so far from diagnosis to have independence be the lesson of the day? No one knows what tomorrow brings, but it feels like we are learning to live with brain cancer, rather than die from it.)
- Laudable. (You go, Big D.)
That deserves some patio time.
Happy Miles Apart Monday, Team D. We hope your distances were all manageable today.
