Weakness vs Strength


January 29, 2013

So here we are- a bit after 4 years of diagnosis and we are back to sever headaches with blurriness vision...

At this point- Marni doesn't type very well. She is completely left-handed and her right arm has limited function.  Don't get me wrong - she still gets fired up and yells like nobodies business when she isn’t happy!

This weekend was a heavy weekend; Marni woke with a 3-day recurring headache. The headaches were so bad that Sunday morning she asked to go to the emergency- absolutely not the norm for her....

What makes life so aware and real is that Finn said to me in Sunday morning when Marni was in pain..."dad I feel so bad" I stopped in the middle of chaos and asked Finn, "bud, why do you feel so bad...?" his response was simple and honest-  "because I have never seen mom cry."

As I sit at our desk and compete the City of Hope (3 opinion paper work) it makes me think that I need to give myself permission to cry more in front of my children. In front of my friends. I realize its not weakness...it really defines how strong you/ we are as people...pl
