“It is great testament to the human spirit, we must continue to rise after adversity, as I truly believe this is where our biggest life lessons are learnt. The world will not save you. You will save you. You will find from your darkest depths, your most guarded shadows, a power to get through”.

Maya Angelou

“You used to be so much more...muchier. You’ve lost your muchness.” The Mad Hatter. Note to self: 1. These moments are part of the big picture. 2. Praise be for @beckyjjones200 dressing up box. 3. It wasn’t me who fell off the skateboard @pond20 . 4. I haven’t laughed so much for donkeys. Happy Monday ✌🏾. #truefriends #laughter #goodtimes

Steroid Saturday 🤪. #letsdothis #steroidsaretheabsolutepits #dexamethasone #sendhelpandginorwine

For months now I’ve struggled to find words. I start to say or write something about a certain situation & then another comes out of left field & creates a whole new set of emotions eradicating the words I thought might make sense...ad infinitum or so it feels. I’m fine...we’re fine...the easiest standard response because there have been so many situations for so long that the amount of words required to explain it all is currently completely indecipherable; a rubble strewn mountainous terrain with no obvious path. One month ago today Ruari arrived back from New Zealand to attend his father’s funeral. Just over a fortnight ago he started his journey back. It’s been hard for him to say the very least & just because sometimes life likes to throw all of its curveballs all at once, five days ago he was diagnosed with mumps (despite having had his MMR jabs). I took a punt & reminded him about the FatBooth app because frankly that’s what springs to mind each time I see his face at the mo & also I think we’ve both run out of words on how shit life can be sometimes...needless to say we’ve laughed heartily. Together we’re starting the climb up yet another mountain & we both know the view will be worth the pain. • Today Dylan has vincristine no. 33/44. Yesterday morning he said in his best genuinely excited voice “I’m so happy - our weekend starts tomorrow!” I looked at him (my eyes on stalks) & asked him what on earth he meant...”Well, I’ve got chemo & then I start steroids & I don’t have to go to school on Thursday or Friday so the weekend starts tomorrow!” Of course in my head chemo isn’t cause for celebrating an early start to a weekend especially when it’ll be laced with the stress inducing steroid dexamethasone...but who am I to tell him how to climb this particular mountain? Their view on this range of mountains is different to mine, but how fortunate I am to have them both show me a glimpse of what they can see. There’s my perspective. • #livingwithcancer #perspective #theclimb #stilllearning #somanybloodymountains #mightmovetohollandapparentlyitsflat

He got a certificate last Friday for always smiling & being happy. #ddysgwrda #alwayssmiling #happyboy
