While I feel breath-catching despair for my husband’s cancer and our keenly fierce vulnerability, I am deeply present to the gift of sharing these 41 years of life with this beautiful, sweet, supportive (and sometimes infuriating 🙂 man. And I am also so aware of the gift of the children we were blessed to bring into this world (with each are found a combination of poignant and profound joy, gratitude, and occasional heartbreak.)
