I have. Now, I have. That story is for another time. It’s a good tale for sure. Even Luke’s oncologists said, “perhaps that was a bit overboard Suz.” WHATEVER!
I am trying to create a space where I can keep friends updated on Luke’s journey, OUR journey, with his second go-round with AML. FUCK CANCER. I say OUR journey because I know that to know Luke, is to love Luke. OUR, as in, our entire posse. Our posse means the many wonderful souls that are surrounding us with love, motivation, knowledge, and, and, and, and. I’m clearly biased but well, I’m not wrong this time.
I am not a blogger. I am not a writer. I am a throw-up of the mouth, crazy, obsessed with Luke and Mason, mom. I am an optimistic and happy joyful person because I choose to be and really, why would anyone not want and thrive for that? Beats me. Anywho…
Life changes quickly. AML changes even faster. I HOPE this will be my landing place to update people as we navigate this next chapter of life. I have also realized journaling is a major way I deal with all that is going on in my head, but mostly my heart. I suck at technology and websites and whatever…google told me this was a good spot for a website. So here we go!
Buckets,
Suz
