we don't talk about that.....

We don’t talk about Retirement.

We don’t talk about Grandkids.

We sometimes talk about weddings as a life goal, but not much.

We don’t talk about beating cancer, because in my case that is not a thing.

We try to live each day to the fullest extent in our power.

We try to lean into treatment success.

We try not to let other's stories dictate the narrative in ours.

This is our story and it is still being written.

I take pride in the way I have approached my disease.

I take pride in the way that I defy my disease.

I am proud of the fact that I inspire others.

I am proud of my family and the manner that they have processed and managed this adversity.

We live in the moment.
We seize every opportunity.

I think about what I want my legacy to be.

What do I want to make sure my kids retain.

Perseverance

Fortitude

Resilience

Courage

Grit
