Childhood Cancer . Grief . Memories

Reflection in the lobby

On November 10, 2018 by

Sitting here reflecting this morning while Carly is in her Teen Advisory Council meeting at Levine Children’s Hospital …. I wonder how many kids have walked through here and didn’t walk out. If I close my eyes, I can see BJ and Carly walking in front of me, Carly pushing BJ’s IV pole…

Today is the anniversary of one that was lost. BJ was so upset when he got the news that Elijah had passed away. We were at Duke, staying in the Ronald McDonald House. He would ask me every day how Elijah and Simon were doing, as each one were in the throes of battle. I told him the news…he got very angry and kicked the coffee table and disappeared into the bedroom and cried.

We don’t forget Elijah, or any of the others we knew who didn’t walk out.
