All In the Family

I am always trying to catch up. Always. So many blogs, so many pictures, not enough energy. I am trying though! Three weeks ago, our last 5 day clinic/home chemo, my cousin Becky and her husband Roger met us at the hospital after our treatment. Becky, one of my closest cousins, is battling cancer herself. Her brother passed away a few years ago from a brain tumor, shortly after my grandpa had died of the same thing. My uncle is in remission from a nasty incurable blood cancer and our poor family is just so done with cancer. ANYWAY! Becky was at Huntsman right next door to PCMC getting a chemo treatment so they stopped by right as we were leaving. It was so great to see them and to catch up for a minute. Of course they came bearing gifts! Roger and Spence have always had this Star Wars connection, a bond, if you will. It started when Spence was just a little guy. Roger was so excited to present him with this awesome Clone helmet, which he loves! Isabelle got these awesome 3D butterfly bubbles. It is so sad to have this little bond between them, but Spencer feels close to Beck, and I am just heartbroken for the both of them. Roger is so great and so supportive, taking care of Becky and their little girl Aida. I am so lucky to have them in my life. Beck still has her hair, barely, but is beautiful either way! We love you guys! I love the picture of the sickos with their masks on!

  2. Lots of strong and brave people in your family. Hate that cancer! And from your previous post with the before/after pics, Spence looks so good! You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

  3. You've GOT to be kidding me. WHY. NOT FAIR.
    I love that they're so smiley in the pictures though! Getting through treatment with grins...amazing and admirable. Still sending loads of love! and mini hugs to your grandpa too. Such a sweet dream story.
