Just Enjoy Him: Ramblings of a Mid-Life Mom
Enjoying my son, loving my family, living my life.
THE BLOGGER
My main role in writing this blog was initially as a 40-something mom to a wonderful, energetic boy who was born in Vietnam.
Then I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in December 2007, and by necessity, it changed. This is my story.
THE BLOG
I'm in such a period of transition right now that it's kind of hard to pin down WHAT this blog is. If forced to define it, I'd say that it's the blog of a woman in the middle of a journey that's redefining her life all the time. It's a blog about cancer, mortality, treatment, faith, love, family, friendship, and much more. It's a blog that evolves and defines itself as I'm writing it. What it becomes surprises even me.
THE REMINDER
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
~ Plato
