Four Years Ago Today
Four years ago, on this day, Katrina and I were sat down in a small room with oncologists and a social worker. We weren’t prepared for what was coming. I mean, how can you be prepared for your world to be shattered? “Your daughter has cancer” or something of the sort was said. I don’t […]
TBT Selfie
I was scrolling through my phone and came across this selfie. It’s a reminder of how crazy our life was when Lauren was getting treatment for her cancer. It’s so hard to imagine a 3 year old taking a selfie while laying in a hospital bed because of cancer, but it’s a reality for some. […]

As time goes by
What a huge difference 3 years makes. It’s so strange how slow the time went when she was getting her high doses of chemo but how long ago this seems to be. #livfree #fun #cancerisntwinningoverhere #pediatriccancer #childhoodcancer#cancerawareness #cancer #cancersucks #family #familytime #events#helpothers #smile #oncology #chemotherapy #chemo #health #charity#givingback #leukemia #survivor #nonprofit
Dexter
Today I wanted a Daddy day with the kids so I decided to take them to the movies. We got there a little early so we sat in an empty theatre just the three of us, me in the middle, laughing and joking. Lauren looked at me and out of nowhere she said to me […]
