4yrs; Day 1527 – It’s not the challenge you face but how you face the challenge
Hi Everyone, Nine years ago, on 12/6, my mother passed away. Today, 12/7, she would have been 89 years old. I was very lucky to spend a great deal of time with her during her last 3 years of fighting cancer. She and I would spend endless hours talking about any/every...

4yrs; Day 1510 – why I look for the small things
Hi Everyone, Every night after I help Corey go to bed I sit down to write about our day. There are some days I wonder what I will write because it seems as if everyday is the same; made up of several repetative steps. Within those steps we're constantly searching for...
4yrs; Day 1509 – from Corey; recipe for Bryn Mawr

4yrs; Day 1507 – ‘happy’ Corey
Hi Everyone, We've been so conditioned living with Corrine that when "happy Corey" woke up today...and stayed...we were all a bit in shock. Corey didn't even argue about going to therapy (I did feel her head for a fever, just in case). I asked Corey why she thought...
