cancer

Today, I write as Kaylee; not a cancer patient, someone on chemo, GIST fighter, etc… I am Kaylee. I am cancer free. I am a wife, a Vizsla mama, a teacher; I am just your average 28 year old, sitting in the sun, on my patio, listening to music, [trying to avoid a sunburn]. 

Today, I’m Kaylee; I am an avoider of cleaning my kitchen floors. I am chef, planning my weekly menu for gatherings with friends & book club. I am an athlete, looking forward to my first co-ed volleyball game on Wednesday.  Today, I am Trampled by Turtles fan, anxiously waiting to see them in concert tonight. 

Today, I’m Kaylee; I am carelessly singing to Atmosphere, while throwing a frisbee for Ace to run down. I am a gardener, plucking weeds from my peony shoots, [my grandma would be proud I finally figured out this job is a must for healthy plants]. 

Today, I’m just Kaylee, without a worry in the world.
