Drinking coffee & thinking about the text my son just sent me about plans to play golf with friends this weekend! This is what thriving after #childhoodcancer sounds like. This time last year he was crumbling & now he is soaring. Gratitude abounds. šŸ’›#ThrivershipOverSurvivorship

I know ringing the bell can be controversial in the Twitterverse, but when my 85 yr old mother sends me a picture & text with her excitement that she got to ring the bell - it fills my heart with so much love and gratitude🄰#EndometrialCancer #TakeThatCancer

My Uncle… who will be 91 in three months… has decided to start growing flowers. I love it! Sharing his flower love with the Twitter verse. I want to be like my uncle when I grow up - never too old to try new things 🄰

This is the problem with #childhoodcancer… You can’t. The trust never fully comes back, in fact it’s painful to want those future days because you are so afraid you won’t get them.

ā€œWant to hit some balls tonite?ā€ Living the dream I was too afraid to want. And we are playing golf together. 🄰 Pinch me please. My son -happy and healthy- is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Treasuring every moment #childhoodcancer #survivorship #SoBlessed šŸ’›

Receiving wonderful cancer free and healthy news from both my mother and one of my two best friends in one week is double the blessings. #SoGrateful

I love this on so many levels. This girl will remember this for her entire life. And I bet it won’t be her last art show!

I just stumbled across this… a post I made in 2021. Proud to say that now in 2025 my son is in a much healthier place and able to focus on life, not just surviving. After all, we save them from #childhoodcancer for the living, not surviving šŸ’› #SoGrateful

#Chicagodogs driving by Chicago on Friday. I need my fix for a Chicago dog… But Mom does not want to drive into the city. Any recommendations for a quick stop off of the highway before or after the Windy City?
