Reaching For Normal - my journey of raising Emily who had a brain tumor. I share my story to bring awareness of this world (cancer, treatment, effects from treatment, balancing "regular" life) with the hope that understanding can bridge gaps. amazon.com/Reaching-Norma…

Almost 40% of adults experience memory loss after the age of 65 years. But, it also affects young people with certain diagnoses, as we found out with my daughter. Some things I've learned over the years: #memory #caregivers meer.com/en/71317-copin…


Ten years ago, I fantasized about moving across country. I needed a change, a new view, a new routine. But I also had a family, including a daughter with complex medical needs and disabilities. Could this be done? Making the move meer.com/en/70978-makin…


My daughter had cognitive and physical disabilities due to a brain tumor which reoccurred throughout her 21 years. Those years were an amazing blur of joy, terror, heartache, pure happiness, & everything in between. That doesn’t mean it was all a wild ride link.medium.com/BNWs3iJOxsb


Grateful for readers and reviews like this! Thank you @JPostWhite for taking the time to not only read my story, but post a review.

@KFILE is sharing the faces of childhood cancer warriors leading up to his Boston Marathon run. Please consider donating to teambeansmarathon.com to raise $ for the Infant Brain Tumor Program to help kids like his daughter and my Emily:

Emily, diagnosed at 7 months with an Astrocytoma. She passed away last year at the age of 21 years...effects from all the treatment for the tumor throughout the years. A true warrior.
