A day without doctors

How it went…

July 1, 2011November 20, 2015 John

Okay, that may have been one of the most successful conversations with my kid, ever. She heard what I had to say, she asked meaningful questions, I had actual answers, […]

Telling my daughter

June 30, 2011November 12, 2015 John

This is the first time this whole diagnosis has gotten me down. It’s not because I’m contemplating my mortality or any of that navel-gazing stuff, but because I have to […]
