Sundaes and Snapshots: The Summer We Made Sweet Anyway

Ice cream after a sweaty trip to the park.

The days are longer now. The air is thick with humidity. Everything feels heavy...

But, it's summer. That's the thing about cancer. It doesn't give a damn about your plans. It just shows up. Whenever it wants and wrecks havoc on everyone in its orbit. So, yeah.

Sometimes we have a playdate and then ice cream. We try to keep it mostly normal. We look for the sweet.

That smile says it all.

Life doesn't have a pause button. Here's what I know. We rush around through life, rushing towards the next thing. We overlook so many every day moments, thinking that they will happen a million more times. But, that's not true. Each moment you are given only happens once. The best we can do is slow down enough to savor the moment. Take the pic. Make the memory. Eat the ice cream.
