My youngest turned 12 while I was being treated for Ovarian Cancer. As I’d promised myself when diagnosed, I made it through treatment and put it behind me. I was living life without the anchor of cancer weighing me down. …
I hate to be the one to break it to you but it’s that time of the year again. I remember the late August/early September time so well- the easing back into early mornings, the bags of jeans and shoes…
