“Today my dad has to go to the hospital. It is sad because he has a broken back. There is a machine. It pumps medicine. ”
This broke my heart when it came home in Madeleine’s backpack at the end of the school year. I haven’t been hooked up to that machine in 3 months and this was a stark reminder of just how this cancer has impacted everyone in our family.
My excitement is that if you can understand the sadness of cancer at 7 years old, you can definitely understand the joy of remission. This is going to be one heck of a party next weekend!!
