So beautiful and thought-provoking. In a few months I’ll finish my own cancer treatment and I don’t think I’d want to ask the question “will I have a recurrence?” I also anticipate feeling funny about the idea of “survivorship.” You are an amazing mom. And thank you for writing about this.
Thank you, it's very strange, the "survivorship" thing. We have a complicated relationship with it, and it's always changing. Sending warm thoughts to you as you finish your treatment, and as you move forward through the 'after'! <3
Beautiful words to mark this important day. The Saving Her essay is so tender. The last paragraph made me cry.
Thank you so much, Peg, truly! <3

Elizabeth, this is the most beautiful well-written vulnerable piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you, Staci, for your kind words-- and for being such a wonderful friend!
I can’t imagine reading that as the familiar plot emerges - nothing too “real” should be allowed in horror!
