Hiatus from running

August 26, 2015 likeafinevino4 Comments

I haven’t run in weeks.  I just can’t get into any kind of rhythm.  Between Kayla’s hospital stays, doctor appointments, and caring for her, I can’t get any kind of routine going that includes running.  Yes, I can squeeze in a run here….a run there….but I don’t feel like I’m getting anything out of running… Continue reading Hiatus from running

Practice of gratitude

August 24, 2015August 24, 2015 likeafinevino1 Comment

Sometimes I get this overwhelming feeling of panic; thoughts go through my mind that I can’t seem to control.  I think about my daughter battling her illness, dealing with one struggle after the other, and I’m overwhelmed with worry, fear, anger, and sadness. Luckily, this doesn’t happen too often.  However, last night as I got… Continue reading Practice of gratitude

Sunday update

First of all, I just want to express my gratitude for everyone who donated to our GoFundMe.  I’m thankful that my cousin set this up for us.  It’s hard to ask people for money, but the more I talk to people, the more I know we’ll be glad to have these funds.  Although we have… Continue reading Sunday update

Stage III-C

August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 likeafinevino11 Comments

Kayla’s cancer is at Stage III-C. I haven’t allowed myself to do any research on Kayla’s cancer, so this stage didn’t really mean much to me when the doctor went over Kayla’s pathology results yesterday.  Apparently, it’s one step away from Stage IV, which is the highest stage of cancer.  It requires immediate chemotherapy. During… Continue reading Stage III-C
