Tornadoes and Blinders

It’s been a while since we have posted a lot on the blog as maintenance has been a bit more calm in it's own way. However, the blog is something that we want to use not only to update friends and family but also to document how we are feeling and doing as a family. After all, I do believe that you do block a lot of trauma out of your mind over time and we want Cooper to be able to look back at what he went through and what we journeyed through as a family when he is older. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and a lot of thinking lately. Thinking and being in my own head isn’t always a good thing, but I think I have had some thoughts that I believe are worth expressing related to where we are at the moment.  I believe that cancer is a lot like a tornado, very different of course but the feelings that come with it can be one in the same. Pediatric cancer often comes out of nowhere. You never see it coming, you can never prepare yourself for it. The destruction is causes

 When it comes to going all out for the Coop man, looking completely ridiculous, and not caring what anyone thinks....Grandad is the bomb DOT COM!!!! We went to Staunton for a Harry Potter weekend of festivities called Mischief and Magic. Grandad (with a LOT of Grammy's help) went all out and dressed like Hagrid to walk around town with his buddy Harry. Cooper thought it was just the best!  Pictures with characters in downtown.  2 Hagrid's!!!!
