Post #1 - Welcome

I love the “4 Katie”page that Brad set up for us on Facebook and all of your support has been life-giving. We feel so supported and loved and that page will remain, but FB has its limitations. 

I’m creating this separate page as a place to also update in addition to journal, document and process a bit of this journey. I had a bad memory pre-brain tumor and I want to make sure I capture this – more for my processing/catharsis than anyone elses. So expect the occasional overshare, spelling errors (typing remains a chore with my left hand dexterity issues – occupational therapy starts next week). 

I also want to keep track of all of the wonderful acts of human kindness that we are experiencing at this time.

I am looking for opportunities to grow through this experience. Its not happening TO us - we are living our lives and now this is a part of it. How do we take this as an opportunity for growth. As Kris Carr (Crazy,Sexy, Cancer) says,"I won't call it a gift, because I wouldn't give it to you." But, I am comfortable calling it an opportunity for growth.
