So, the first real week of life how it is worked out pretty damn well. Today the boys and I (mostly MastaG) cleaned the house, and later we went to Sumgurl’s kids party with the Cemesto’s crew, and had a great time.
We came home, took baths, and went to bed.
Time for another week.

Wow, short post, huh?
I was going to discuss the whole phenomenon of religious debate on the ‘tumor, but realized I didn’t have as much to say about it. I love a theological debate, but I’ve shot through all of the arguments on both sides this month, and don’t know which leg I have to stand on.
Its fun watching you all discuss it.
Its also interesting to know that BJ finds the whole debate moot, she’s got as much of an answer as she’s likely to get.
Good night, folks. Thanks for helping me through another week.

…And tomorrow will be Monday.
A clean house. A new week.
Sleep tight.
Peace to you all.

AT, thank YOU for helping US through another week. Your writing, your honesty, and the documentation of your journey help the rest of us see life with a little more clarity and perspective. Thanks, buddy.

Thank you for helping ME through this week. Your writing and your expriences have guided me and provided a much needed prespective. I just found this site in the past few days and have spent a ridiculous amount of time reading and thinking about what you have been through. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you find some comfort in what you are able to give to others through this medium.

Hey AT, I’m still reading your blog. Thanks for remaining open, even though you don’t know many of us. Your & BJ’s boys are going to be amazing young adults b/c of who their parents are.

Hi. I can’t remember how exactly I got to your site but I think it was via the NaBloPoMo thing. It was a few days ago that I first read your blog.
My heart aches for you. And for myself.
My mother passed away when I was 12 (29 yrs ago). My father raised me. He passed away 6 months ago. He was my best friend. It was sudden. 2 weeks and he was gone.
I have times when I’m really pissed off that life goes on. For the rest of us. Thanksgiving was a reminder of that.
I saw a movie last night called The Fountain. DON’T see it. It’s about a guy who’s losing his wife to a brain tumor. I thought of YOU. A stranger I don’t know. While I was doing laundry today I thought of you.
My heart aches for you. There is only so much grieving people can do WITH you. It’s a lonely thing………..this grieving.
I have a 9 yr old son and an Xhusband that is a good friend. My son is lucky to have us both. Hopefully he will never have to know how lucky. He helps me live in the present and figure out each day as it comes.

I’m glad you made it through the week o.k. I think of you and your boys often. We, my husband and daughter and I ate at Red Lobster in Oak Ridge today, after church, and I thought of you guys. This blog does make it seem like I know you. Like if I saw you out somewhere, I’d probably come up and say hey. Don’t you ever worry about weirdos, knowing all your personal stuff?

‘Night AT. That’s right you know, you do help us too…. I’m really glad I found the ‘tumor, and it sounds like I’m not alone. Hey looks like another ‘Coco’ has found their way here. Ok, night, the school bus will be here too early for my crew….need to turn in and recharge for another busy week. Night to you too BJ… keep holding your men close.

I’m bookmarking this blog so every time I have a stupid fight with my husband I can read this and I can stop being such an idiot. Thank you

And thanks for helping me out as well, AT.
Sleep well.

Here’s something for Advent.

Thinking of you often, AT. Got two sympathy cards from nuns - they’re praying for you and the boys. My housemate sends her best regards. She remembers swimming with the boys - a great memory.
I imagine this Christmas season will be very different for you - in some ways more painful and in some ways more profound. Your openness to the journey is good for all of us.
Love ya

Sorry Canidian Coco, didn’t mean to steal your name… strangely, I was going to post a few days ago just to let AT know I was here and reading and someone posted with the user name Courtney Jo, MY NAME!!!! I have never met another Courtney Jo in my life.
December 4th, 2006 at 12:31 pm
That’s a weird coincidence hey Courtney Jo?! And then another Coco to boot - go figure! I just use as it’s what my neices and nephews have always called me (’auntie coco’) as a nickname. Courtney Jo is a pretty name, I’m not surprised someone else has it!
