cancer // #loveprayshea

2.6.16 My cancer has a hashtag?! Oh my. My sisters walked in with a box full of the coolest little bands printed with #LovePrayShea. Seriously, it’s very surreal, strange and exciting to see my name on one of those special reminder bracelets you see people wear who are praying for someone in need. Seeing how many were in the box made me well up at the thought of this many people supporting our little family. I got excited and emotional and felt… Read more »

So many other sweet people have been taking… Read more »

cancer // bottle battle victory

1.31.16 Woke up to see my sweet girl just smiling and grinning as big as she could. I took a little video to remember. She lights up when we walk in the room. She’s finally noticing who we are, or at least she knows, ‘hey, they’re around a lot, I need them.’ She took the bottle from my sister right away. She was doing so well, we put her in my lap and I tried feeding her halfway through… and… Read more »
