Holy Cow!

October 14, 2011

It is hard to believe that is was only a year and 3 months ago that Anne was diagnosed with Cancer. It has been a long 15 months. The last 5 months have been exceptionally trying and tender. When Anne had her recurrence and was diagnosed with metastatic disease, our lives, which were already shaky [...]

Pyramids aren’t pyramids any more

August 30, 2011

Although the chicken fights are getting much more even, our pyramids are no longer tall in the middle. I wanted to post a quick picture of us and link to a new post by Anne on her cancer blog. If you are interested here it is Getbehindmecancer.com.

Happy Cancerversary

July 23, 2011

So I was wrong and I did have another cancer post, because Anne deserves it. In what is hopefully the first of many, I want to wish Anne a happy cancerversary. It may have only been a year ago that Anne was rushed into the emergency room, but it feels like a lifetime ago. It [...]

If there are 4 words in the English language which are scarier than the 3 words, “you have cancer,” they are “your cancer is back.” A little over a week ago, Anne heard those words. Our family has been once again placed into a state of shock and we are once again doing everything we [...]

It is a Karmic world, thank you @clementlehman

December 19, 2010

About 5 years ago, I was walking to dinner in Atlanta and I came across a wallet in the gutter. I picked it up and it had two things in it: 8 $100 bills and a pink business card with a girl’s name in parentheses and a Florida phone number. When I got it home, [...]

A quick update

November 9, 2010

I wanted to get a quick update on sixintheworld. Everything is going well. Anne is almost 2/3rd of the way through her chemo and is handling her treatments as well as can be expected. She is on 3 week cycles, so just about the time she starts to feel normal she dives back in for [...]
