I approached today as if it were any other day...it's hard not to when you've been dealing with sick kids for 2 weeks, being run down yourself from the viruses and multiple wakings at night. I started thinking about this year...this milestone that I have reached. 1 year cancer free! Huge when you look at cancer statistics...most recurrence happens in the first year. Every...
I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now. When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.

We walk alone even with others we are alone. We are surrounded by pain so great it cripples not only the soul but the body as well. We wail and cry and stumble and fall.

The happy sounds of children laughing, the warmth of the sun, the perfection of yesterday's party for Destinee will provide me with happiness today and for years to come. This was everything a child's birthday party should be. Yes, it is sad that Evan was not physically there to enjoy it with us, but I have to make the best of what is and use that knowledge to go forward in li...
