  • It’s been two weeks since my dad passed away and I’m not sure if it’s sunk in yet. It still seems really weird. Grief is really that weird thing where people stare you down sometimes like they are waiting for you to just break down and cry. Which sometimes I do, still. Yesterday it just flowed out of me non-stop. People use words like move on or get over. When really to me, it’s learning to live with it.  The club you become a member of, that nobody wants to be in. My dad was diagnosed with cancer maybe 7 years ago, it started in his bladder. It moved into his kidney probably 6 years ago and he had to have one removed. Then they found it in the lymph nodes. They said maybe 1-3 years in the bad news room. He made it 6. Chemo three times and went through a good period of remission. He never stopped moving, never stopped working, never stopped fighting and remained active in our lives. Mother’s day they found it in his brain, two tumors and one in his abdomen. He went through aggressive radiation. The tumors shrunk and no more grew but Labor Day he went to the ER for numbness in his leg. Then they found it in his spinal fluid and after he died we found out in the lining of his brain. Cancer sucks but my dad fought back and got 7 years of going to my kids sports games, choir concerts, dance recitals and piano recitals. 7 years he got to annoy me by being at my house at least 3 times a week, arguing with me on more than one of the days at least. Even his last few months we went to the zoo, the museum and celebrated birthdays. He had a special bond with my son that can’t be replaced. My dad put his family first and loved unconditionally. He was a good friend and always helped someone in need if they asked. He was a veteran and taught us to respect those who serve our country. When he was in the hospital he told me that I would always be his little girl and was grateful for how much he got the see the kids grow up. Cancer may have taken my dad’s life but he never let cancer win.

  • I'm hosting a giveaway for @jamesrileyauthor new book in #TheRevengeofMagic series. My son loves his books and we all know I enjoy good middle grade series. Stop over to the blog to enter, https://bit.ly/2oRSe1i Summary; Fort Fitzgerald is determined to uncover the truth, but a new student at school and the secrets he has to keep complicate matters in this second novel in a thrilling new series from the author of the New York Times bestselling Story Thieves! Fort Fitzgerald can’t stop having nightmares about the day his father was taken from him in an attack on Washington, DC. In these dreams, an Old One, an evil beyond comprehension, demands the location of the last dragon. But other than some dragon skeletons dug up with the books of magic on Discovery Day, Fort has never seen a dragon before. Could there still be one left alive? And weirdly, Fort’s not the only one at the Oppenheimer School having these nightmares. His new roommate, Gabriel, seems to know more than he’s letting on about this dragon as well. And why does everyone at the school seem to do whatever Gabriel says? What’s his secret? Fort’s going to need the help of his friends Cyrus, Jia, and Rachel, if he’s going to have any chance of keeping the Old Ones from returning to Earth. Unless, the Old Ones offer something Fort could never turn down…

  • I'm sitting at the hospice house with my dad waiting for him to find his peace. He's ready and I'm not ready but ready for him. He's fought a long battle with cancer (7 years) and I saw this book here. My kids are struggling with losing my dad. My 10 year old son is extremely close to him. It was good to see this book here for kids. The hospice home is wonderful and peaceful. I don't doubt the in-home care is wonderful too. So if you find yourself at that point with someone I hope you can find the peace that I'm finding. #booksofinstagram #hospice #cancersucks

  • The thing about books is that they speak to us each in a different way. Reading #atreasonofthorns with what I'm going through now gave me a different feeling about the loss Violet is going through. I also found the book and the magic very intriguing. You can win a copy of #atreasonofthorns as well as #thelightbetweenworlds by checking out the post that were on the @theffbc tour. *https://bit.ly/2lWr5J5 #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #theffbctours #atreasonofthornstour #ya
