Tomorrow is four.

Four years ago today I was getting ready for bed knowing that my life was again about to change the next morning. That I would experience chemotherapy for the very last time in my life. That from that day on I would no longer be a cancer patient but a cancer survivor.


My life changed that day. I was no longer sick, I was no longer held back by illness. I was free to grow, learn and appreciate all the things I had taken for granted.


It was a restless sleep. Tonight will be no different. I will toss and turn. I will dream and remember. I will appreciate and celebrate. April 12th always brings a restless night of sleep because April 13th is the day I officially beat cancer.

April Fools.

It's April Fools day.

I told my husband I was pregnant.

He looked shocked.

Then confused.

Then really excited.

Then he said, "Oh wait, April fools...right?"


I laughed.

He told me another kid would be a disaster.

Hmm. I guess we're done having kids.

Lesson learned.
