I’m a middle aged (ugh!), extremely privileged mom to one fourteen year old daughter and a rather large, but very slobby brown dog, which I inherited (I’m NOT a dog person –  much prefer cats, to which I am terribly allergic). I was living the life I had carefully planned for myself, until I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. I had just got over having my left boob removed, started chemo and then someone decided that I need to deal with more shit –  two months later, 4 days before Christmas 2013, my husband and mother were killed in a car accident. So much for life’s plans!

Oh yes, and then I had a brain op!!

Encouraged by friends and family, I started blogging to try and make sense of what happened to my family, my health and my life I had planned. After my diagnosis i started journalling and some extracts have morphed into this blog. Other pieces are from daily happenings and thoughts. Irrespective, I hope something resonates with you, dear reader.
