Like Master Oogway says in Kung Fu Panda (one of our kid’s favorite movies), it is important to relax and enjoy the present, without worrying much about what was, or what will be. We ‘ve decided to take one day at a time and celebrate the small joys of life!
People often get busy chasing big dreams and lofty goals — dream job, dream family, dream house, dream startup… Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to cherish the small things and celebrate the small joys of life.
Our kid’s cancer taught us that happiness is not in things outside, but in being grateful for what we have and making the best of it.
We learned to pause, savour the moment and appreciate the joy of small things… We built our own tents and pretended to camp, shredded paper into bits and made pretend snow in sunny California, talked goofy with Alexa, and did several things together — from baking, reading, art, board games, funny faces on snapchat, and silly singing to crazy dancing… This helped make our long and boring hospital stays and clinic visits more bearable.
