I’ve been procrastinating… I’ve been thinking about him… I’ve been reflecting on his humility, his generosity, his kindness, his optimism, his glowing energy, his way of nurturing people… I’ve been thinking about cancer… about death… I’ve been sad, angry, upset and confused…
Since I recently wrote a blog about my complications the second time around, I thought I should also write a blog about my first experience to balance it out…
We camped for the first time as a family of four! Jackson is almost 3.5… if you ask him, he’ll say he’s 4… and Waipuna is 4.5 months. We were invited to a friend’s birthday party at a home at Olowalu and told we could camp on the lawn if we wanted to. It was awesome…
