Celebration Time!

Your dad and I decided that we wanted to have a party, to celebrate the fact that not only are you cancer free but your counts have recovered enough that we could do a public celebration without worrying about germs, etc.  It is Saturday, July 5th, which I know will not work for everyone, but our summer has quickly booked up now that we have a trailer and want to get out and camp.  Ideally, we could have had it later in the fall, but we wanted to do it at a park so all the kids would have somewhere to play.  There will be games and bouncy castles for all the kids to play with, as well as the park at Kin Coulee.  You are already excited for the party and even more excited that it will be a Superhero Party!!  Anyone and everyone we know is invited, meaning if you are reading this post, you are invited!!  I will attached the information poster to this post for all party details.  **I just noticed that the bottom of the poster didn't come through when I transferred it.  It says: Where: Kin Coulee Band Shelter    When: 11-3

The celebration will also be the place where your dad will shave his head.  He is raising money for Kids Cancer Care, which is a foundation that we utilized a lot while in Calgary.  The link to donate is:

This week, you were suppose to go to Calgary for all your tests.  Unfortunately, another young girl had passed away from cancer.  The funeral was on the day of your tests so we had them moved to this week so your dad and I could attend.  It is truly heart breaking knowing that Jaylyn was taken so young.  She was Aunty Chandra's cousin and we knew the family before Jaylyn was diagnosed.  I remember being totally shocked when Aunty Chandra had informed us of her diagnosis and we would always asked how she was doing and how she was recovering from her many surgeries, our heart broke for her and her family.  Little did we know that just short of a year later, we would be on the same unit as Jaylyn and get to know her family in a different light.  We will always be grateful for the support they gave us during a very difficult time.

As for an update on you...not much has changed, which is great!  You are anticipating our camping trip this weekend and also excited to see Carter and Mailey, when we go to Calgary.  I am anxious about your tests, like I always am.  It will be nice to breathe easier once your test results all come back.  There is no reason for the worry, but I always do.  I know that come Thursday evening, I will be able to drive back knowing your body continues to stay healthy.

Love you to the moon and back,

Mom
