Hoppy 2yr ampuversary to Chloe! We made it! Even with those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad foxtail adventures!!!!!!!!!!  We will be celebrating by spending time at the beach, taking naps, eating treats and snuggling on the couch.  I’ve truly been blessed to have her in my life.

I made this video in early June to celebrate Chloe’s 2yr ‘cancer surviving thing’, but the song “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” by Glee Cast now applies to everything she and I have been through these past few months:  the foxtail-in-the-mouth/inflammation debacle, my grandfather and my uncle passing away within 3 weeks of one another, family issues, roommate issues, and thesis issues. Life seemed to happen all at once for us and while it hasn’t been easy, I do have to give myself credit for getting through it. Thank you to those who responded to my forum post regarding these matters, your support is always greatly appreciated.

In celebration of Chloe’s milestone, I only ask that you call, hug, and tell loved ones that you love them. Life is too short.

What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger by Glee Cast (Intro lyrics)
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleepin’ here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you’ve had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby you don’t know me, cause you’re dead wrong

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
