I have started this initial blog a thousand times in my head. There are a multitude of thoughts and feelings that run around in my brain that wouldn't make sense in print. They are disjointed and all over the place but I have to begin somewhere as my husband has cancer. Which means that our family has cancer. Our boys have learned more about cancer than any 7, 9, or 17 year old should ever know on such an intimate level. So what are we dealing with? Contemplating our futures without my husband and the boys without their father.

  1. I am so glad you started this! I think you will find it really helpful and give you place to think, ponder, vent, express your feelings...and to receive love.

  2. Robin, How honest and heartfelt! You are all dealing with something so brutally invasive, it includes everyone; which is to say that we are here for you, every single one of us, your brothers and sisters (mom too!!). How you and Buff must be feeling! I'm sure that changes day to day or even minute to minute.
    Robin, never having been through this, I don't know what you need. Please let me know, whatever it is and I will be there. We love you big sis. And I know that you and Buff will handle this as you have everything else that has come along--kicking and fighting but with so much love in your hearts!

  3. Robin I am so glad you are doing this. Any outlet that helps you is good. Honestly, I weep when I think about what you and Buff are going through. I know you are a super-strong woman but sometimes strength can lead to loneliness.
    I tried to call you on Saturday and had delightful conversations with Thane and Torin.
    I will try again soon. I will think of you tomorrow when you decorate your Christmas tree--hold on to all that is normal and good-- that is so important. I send so much love to you,
    Buff and the boys.
