Springtime Willow

One day i came home from work and Joy said: I found the perfect song for our next Willow video.
Spring has been really fun so far, and its not done yet. I just could not resist putting this together, so here it is, enjoy.

New car was needed

Well, one week ago Willow and I got rear ended on our way home from dropping Joy off at woman’s circle. We are still in some pain, and soreness, but dealing with it with proper medical care. I am sure we will be fine soon. Life goes on, and we needed a new mode of transport, so here is the result.

Gratitude has been on my mind and heart a lot lately. For the past few months i have been experiencing moments of deep gratitude at totally random times. I feel tremendous gratitude for all of our family and friends that support us in so many different ways. I feel so grateful that i get to live my life every day, with intention, fun, love, resourcefulness, and excitement. The list goes on and on for all the things i am grateful for. It’s kind of blizzard to me that i am experiencing so many of these moments, I guess is just the mind trying to not feel it all :)

When i stop to think about all these moments one thing is clear to me, my life and the life of my family would not be as amazing as it is without all the people who have made an impact on us.

Willow is an awesome little being, and you all have had an impact on her already.

So here is the 15 month snapshot of her life so far, i hope you enjoy it, and know that when you watch this you are watching a part of you through our little Willow.

Thanks so much, and may this year bring you unlimited gratitude and love.

2nd opinion, all is going well

We saw a second set of doctors this week. Willow’s blood counts are all in good shape.
The doctor said she is doing very well and he expect no relapse. so great news right before the holidays.

Amazing humans!

This weekend Joy completed the 65 mile (100K) Konocti Challenge with Team In Training. To say that I am proud of her is just the beginning. Seeing her ride through the finish line was one of the most moving moments of my life. This ride was hard!! Joy’s mom, Willow and I drove the length of the route stopping at all the SAG stops eagerly awaiting her arrival. I could see how exhausted she was by stop 3, in her usual self she brushed it off, picked up Willow, gave her the mommy feeding time, hydrated and kept on pedaling.  As she pedaled away from us I could see her dig deep into her commitment and sheer will to finish this thing, no doubt she was beating cancer on a whole other level this weekend with each pedal stroke.

Joy I am so happy to get to share life together with you. I love you.

To all you amazing folks out there that are making and have made a huge difference through TNT, thank you for your commitment. Thank you for letting yourself come out and win.

Now here is a video I put together, and some photos.

Enjoy.
