Brain cancer is...
...grateful for the gift of life today on Christmas.
Our day was wonderful, spent for the first time in a very long time with a toddler (and her parents, whose coolness level isn't too far below hers). What they say about seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child is true. Children embody life, promise, and optimism, don't they?
We also wished each other Merry Christmas #5 (five post diagnosis Christmases for Darrell). He has seen so many more Christmas wonders than we dared hope for.
We took maybe a hundred photos today, and we experienced joy in viewing many others. But we appreciated no holiday photo more than this one of the Case/Corrigan family.
Kim is on the left; her mom on the right. That's her dad beating a hasty exit from the hospital after recovering from COVID. He was hospitalized for four weeks, with the doctors suggesting ventilation three times, as he fought off the virus. His wife (Kim's mom) also was hospitalized (albeit briefly) and has recovered from COVID.
Case/Corrigan family, your good news was the highlight of our Christmas.
Here's to life!
Today's Bloom
Five-Year Throwback: We spent Christmas 2016 (10 months after diagnosis) in Kauai. Here's a bloom from that Christmas.
