A year ago today, a woman I've never met put her life on hold to save mine. I'm still here, thanks to her and an amazing team of doctors and my wonderful family and friends who kept my spirits up and fetched and carried for me over this past year. My big one year testing happens next week, and I'll be healing for a while still, but my future is looking bright and full of positive possibilities. So tonight, we celebrate my 1st of hopefully many more bonus (bone/us?) birthdays - with treats and storybooks, a mini piñata, homemade pie AND my very own Meg monster twuck! It is good to be alive!!

I know it's been a while between updates. I'll admit, I've had a discouraging winter; with pneumonia that took forever to shake and getting clobbered by COVID (for the first time) that weeks later is still making me woozy, it's been harder than usual to look on the bright side. But I've also had a wonderful winter! A new great nephew, a new great niece, and not one but two weddings?! And bloodwork creeping closer to normal with each passing day AND my latest genomic testing showing NO measurable evidence of the mutation that caused my leukemia?! Not to mention that I had pneumonia and COVID, and my little baby immune system said 'hold my little baby beer' and fought back, and I'm still kicking?! It's actually been a pretty fantastic winter! So, honoring the journey, here's a teeny spider with a dew drop flower hat. Please keep the good thoughts coming, and I'll keep reminding myself to respect the process, to keep on running (or sometimes walking) in the right direction, and above all, to enjoy this journey 🥰 Love you guys!
