WHAT AN AMAZING DAY! My dear friend, Angela, sent me an email back when we found out that Ben relapsed in July. She asked “Can we hold a benefit for your family at the Outback on September 27? Just say yes or no. You don’t have to be there if you can’t make it.” I [...]
Instead of writing about Comic Book Day I decided to post one page of “The Adventures of Super Ben”. Enjoy.
I really don’t have a lot to say about Cherries Jubilee. I don’t believe I’ve ever had what some consider to be a tasty treat, but then again, I’m not really big on dessert.
I’ve been wracking my exhausted brain trying to come up with something to write about regarding this topic. The only thing that [...]
Checkers Day isn’t as simple as it might sound. I was thinking this was an actual celebration of the GAME, you know, more along the lines of “would you like to be the red or the black circles?”. But it’s not. Checkers Day revolves around Richard M. Nixon’s dog, Checkers, and a speech he gave [...]
Today we must take time to appreciate our elephants. For me, I don’t have to go to the local zoo, I can “appreciate” the elephant that’s standing right in the middle of my room – house, really.
You might be thinking you know what our elephant is named. You’re saying “Oooh! Oooh! I know this one! [...]
Wow. I am so not qualified to speak on either International Peace nor World Gratitude Day. It’d be nice to have world peace AND have everyone be grateful for it, but I don’t believe we’ll ever see that in our lifetime. Besides, what would we complain about then? And I just can’t imagine the people [...]
“I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl.” – Johnny (from Airplane, one of my very favoritest movies ever!)
So. I have absolutely no plans to make an actual hat today. I gotta go to the bank, get some groceries, pick up the van from the shop, get ready for tomorrow’s surgery, and [...]
Today’s Teddy Bear Day is not a Nationally recognized holiday but one completely worthy of celebrating.
I love my teddy bear. His name is Roger. I got him as a birthday present from a school friend (Kristie Kohn) and named him after my first major crush (Holly Crawford’s dad). Whew. That Roger Crawford was a good-lookin’ [...]
I’m sorry I haven’t been consistent lately. My plan was to write every day this month about Childhood Cancer: the families we met, the little friends we lost, the experiences we had – but it was just too difficult. I started writing about our dear friend, Eden. She passed away last December from Neuroblastoma at [...]
We had never heard of neuroblastoma when Ben was first diagnosed in 2004. Of course we’d heard of kids getting leukemia, which is horrifying enough, but children getting any other sort of cancer was a ridiculous concept to us.
The first opportunity I had to go home after Ben’s initial diagnosis I ran straight to the [...]
