(& seven girls)
Just being normal is healing. We haven't had a family vacation in 2 years.
Ever since Maggie was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago this past April, it seems like all of our families' activities have revolved around CANCER. With medical treatment being 4 hours from our home and chemo every week there was no time for our other seven children. They gave up so much over the past 15 months; sports, summer play, time with friends, and the attention of their parents (mine & John's).
This week at the beach via the generosity of the Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation is ours & Maggie's way of showing them how wonderful, caring, and loving they all are in a very tangible way.
Time has been a precious commodity these past 15 months. Here at the House by the Sea, time seems to slow down. We can all just breath & relax, and be normal again.
