A small request... please

I have a small request and it won't take up much of your time.

Now that Emmah's spirit has left her physical body behind and has completed it's journey "home" I would very much like if you could all take a moment and reflect on Emmah... whether you knew her personally or not. Let us know how she touched/affected or made a difference in your life.

I especially would like to hear from those of you who know/knew her, what your fondest memory or memories of her are. Funny stories and what you remember her likes and dislikes to be (no matter what they are) and what word/words you would use to describe her.

In order to keep all of those thoughts in one place, please, please use this link only for this purpose only.

Thank-you

A momentous occasion ...

...not only because of the Mother's Day serenade at Rachael's pre-school
or because of the Mother's Day Tea Party given by Jakob's Kindergarten
(of which I was the lucky participant)but because today marked the last day of radiation therapy for Emmah,
which she handled like a champ.
She will proudly boast that she made it through it all without ever taking Zofran,
the nausea medication that was prescribed.
She is a bit tired, but is celebrating by having a Gramma-Emmah weekend,
which includes a long-awaited and salivated over cinnamon roll and a long overdue bath
(that was delayed by PICC line healing and radiation markings we did not want to lose).
The last visit to clinic showed she was down 1 kg (which equates to 2.2 lbs),
so with radiation out of the way (along with the nausea it was inclined to cause)
we will be focusing once again on getting her back to a healthier fighting weight.
Emmah's eyebrows have sprouted up seemingly overnight
and her batting eyelashes are coming in a close second.
Her head is boasting mostly peach fuzz,
but hopefully it will see more growth in the coming weeks.
