Well it’s 2 am and not much sleep going on here. Wil has an infection and although I hope it is nothing and that medicine the doc gave him works quickly, this is exactly how his last hospitalization started. It is so difficult to keep your mind from going to dark places when your child is fighting leukemia. I actually fell asleep and Wil was the one who woke me up because he couldn’t sleep and now I can’t go back to sleep. #cancersucks is such an understatement. On a good day it robs you of your peace of mind. Life of a leukemia patient is not for the weak, mentally or physically. Chemo is not our friend, there has to be a better way.

A friend reminded me today was 25 years since Coach Valvano gave his “never give up” speech, he passed away about 2 months later. Give a listen when you have 10 minutes. Wil and I have listened to it often...everyone knows Wil doesn’t let a day go by without laughter!

Several really awesome people have sent this song to me and shared how Wil’s story has touched their lives. Their words squeeze on my heart.
Although he has years left in his fight against leukemia sometimes I need to remember that being a champion isn’t about holding the trophy at the end of the war but giving 100% when you are in the midst of the battle.
