I started this website as a digital diary to talk about every aspect of my life. The good, the bad, the ugly. One of my main driving points was the terminal (and extremely rare) brain cancer diagnosis of my partner, Andrew. After suffering through a brain biopsy, extensive brain surgery, 9 grueling months of various chemotherapy treatments, 30 rounds of radiation, and even a clinical trial, we were sent home with the words that no one wants to hear: “We’re sorry, but there is nothing else we can do.”

This is where despair hits. At just 22, my beautiful and loving partner of nearly 3 years had the world ripped out from underneath him in just a matter of seconds. Our families, both mine and his, were crushed into absolute rock bottom. How could this happen to our precious Andrew, and why?

This blog is a place for me to share bits and pieces of what its like picking up the bits and pieces after your life collapses in front of you. I will talk about the terrible things, the sad things and the things that don’t make sense. But, I will also talk about the finding the beauty in pain and as my pastor once said “learning how to embrace the suck”.
