Last Year in my 3rd Decade

It’s my birthday. 39 years on the earth. One kid. Three surgeries. Five conditions. One life and I’m eager to live the rest of it!

Living with inflammatory bowel disease as a parent can make you feel less than worthy. However, your kids see you and maybe that’s enough.

Our kids are going back to in person learning. Are we ready? Are they?

It’s okay to have the audacity of hope. It’s okay to believe.
