When we discovered that Dad was unlikely to survive his aggressive brain cancer, he started setting himself small goals. Events he still wanted to be alive (and reasonably well) for. The first of these was his 70th birthday. We began speaking about his birthday as though it was a birthday like any other. We didn’t mention that he may not make it, or that it would probably be last.
I love how the cake says 'WE've done it' instead of 'I've done it'. It relates a great family spirit. Periods like this make you value so much more who you were put into a family with (unless they're assholes. Then it sucks.). Love the photo of all of you. Good luck in these challenging times!
Medha! What glorious pictures of your family - and the cake looks amazing (although I'm sorry to hear it wasn't all that tasty!).
It looks like your dad's birthday was absolutely wonderful - hurrah! I'm so sorry about his fall. Sending love your way.
Favourite picture? The heart on your t-shirt - it's so clever how it's doing the 'thinky' thing with its hands. You have such a beautiful way of observing the world.
I agree with the quote in Hugo's post "hope isn't just wishful thinking, it's an energy you put forth to create that which you hope for / hold space for it which makes it more likely to occur."
What’s the difference between an oodie and a hoodie???? (My kids wear hoodies every single day because, fashion. ) I love that family photo! Thank you for writing about your life I love you so much and just basically adore your writing & drawings and always want more more more MORE! I like that the heart on your shirt had its hands up on its head in worry. The last bit after the video was hilarious. And I’m jealous of Karen. I mean, congratulations, Karen. ❤️
I like exploring this topic of hope, when hopeing may cause more hurt if something doesn't turn out how your want it, but not hopeing is not letting life flow. I heard an amazing insight from Kryon/Lee Carol, where they said that hope isn't just wishful thinking, it's an energy you put forth to create that which you hope for / hold space for it which makes it more likely to occur.
sending love to you guys. I’m so sorry your dad had a fall ❤️🩹 “We’ve done it” is a poster that needs to be in every room of the house 🫶🏽🫶🏽

I love your newsletter. Much love to your awesome gang ❤️
I know about the bruised heart - it can make one forget. I'm so glad that you remembered.
