We had the best night swimming with Aunt Meme and Aunt Kerry (@mnjacobs & @krossow18) My “big kid” as he calls himself is such a fish! 🐠

Who knew growing veggies could be so meaningful?! Last summer at this time I was confined to my dark, cool home because Taxol had taken over my skin and 2 minutes flat in the heat or sun = horrible rash. I was taking daily (sometimes multiple) oatmeal baths and slathering myself in every cream and anti-itch remedy under the sun. ⁣ ⁣ Today I pulled this pretty baby out of my garden, along with a haul of sugar snap peas, heirloom beans and roma tomatoes. ⁣ ⁣ Life after cancer can be horribly hard but today it feels pretty sweet ✨

Bests 🖤

What a perfect wedding weekend! Congratulations to Jake and Kerry and thanks for letting me be a part of your love story! ❤️ #jakegetskerryedaway

Today is a big day for our family, my sweet cousin @krossow18 is marrying her love @millertyme11 💕 I know my dad would have been overjoyed for today’s festivities. He loved Kerry and Jake like his own kids and he was SO proud of them. ⁣ ⁣ This morning during my yoga practice I kept seeing what I thought was a hawk at the top of that big pine tree. I focused on it during all my balance poses and kept hoping it really was. ⁣ ⁣ After I finished, I grabbed the binoculars my mom gave Dane last week and sure enough... a beautiful bird, sharing my morning and giving me a lot of hope that my dad was right there with me. ⁣ ⁣ Guys. Look for the signs. Our loved ones are all around us. ❤️🦅 #happyweddingday #jakegetskerryedaway

Megan was pure sunshine. The light around her radiated and warmed the room - that kind of energy. She was the first person I knew and loved that had to take cancer on, and she fought with all she had. She bravely put her journey out there with her posts, so eloquently yet raw... revealing such strength and vulnerability you couldn’t help but be overcome with emotions. When my dad died, Meg called and we cried together. When I was diagnosed, her strength helped me along my path. ⁣ ⁣ And now, after all of the hardships, she is at peace. I will miss her immensely - her laugh, bear hugs, smile and sunshine. I will continue to fight, advocate and share in her honor. Rest easily my sweet friend 💜
