What has life taught me that college never could? There are no guarantees. In February of 2007 my husband and I welcomed to this planet a healthy baby girl. We spent 14 months navigating parenthood in NYC, planning music and art classes that our little one would soon participate in. But then our funny girl was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She went through brain surgery and 6 months of high dose chemotherapy with no guarantee that the cancer cells will be eradicated. No guarantee that our house won't burn down tonight... This sounds like a downer story, but this lesson has taught me to slow down and enjoy the path of life. And never be in a rush to get to pre-school-who cares! How much room do I have here? PS our daughter is still in remission
