In omnia paratus

2 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 1 day since diagnosis - and she is finally done.

"Big news! No chemo!" was her refrain today. There will be lots of celebrating in the days and weeks ahead. We started today with lunch with Aunt Mare and Aunt Cait and Ellie, ice cream cones, and dinner at Frank's.

I bought her a t-shirt for today. It says "In Omnia Paratus" -- which means "ready for anything." It's a reference from her second favorite TV show - Gilmore Girls. Yes, second only to Barney, Hope loves Gilmore Girls. Has watched the entire series multiple times. Knows every character. Can repeat whole scenes verbatim. It's a long story...

But here she is, 842 days later. 41% of her days on Earth later. She is ready for life without chemo.


Hoping for continued health. Hoping for few long term side effects. Hoping for happiness, adventure, joy, calm. Hoping.
