Reflections from the other side

I know I know, the title sounds morbid. I’m not dying. By other side, I mean remission, because we did it. I am still in remission and have been for a whole year now.

Well friends, we got the flu

I’m going to Europe!

Guys this month has been so hectic. Last month of school for kids is always a gong show, meaning long days and energy levels next to nothing.
