We got some amazing news this week: The results from my dad’s first bone marrow biopsy post-transplant shows NO remaining cancer!!! Apart from the birth of my child, this is the closest I’ve ever been to a real live miracle. Also, my little monkey had her first ballet class this week. I swear—is there...
