https://thecookiegal.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/finally-not-different
Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; What to be when I grow up? Finally not “different”. On May 28, 2012. This past weekend (Since Thursday) Richard and I were in Maine at Camp Sunshine. You really can’t “get” what I am saying. So, back to the parent groups at camp. For the first time since we found out about Alexander’s cancer, I didn’t feel “different”. I felt Normal (whatever normal is! Thank You Camp Sunshine for all that you do! Http:/ www.campsunshine.com/. Mike Lukas (the elder). I am so glad ...

Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; 4 Long Years. Birthday’s and Milestones. On June 29, 2015. Today Alexander would have been 6 years old. He should have just finished up kindergarten and be moving on to 1st grade. But alas, he is not. He is forever 21 months old. 21 months 3 days old to be exact. Elizabeth turned that age on June 24th. Both my girls are now older than their brother ever was (big giant sigh….). We once again had Oreo Cookie Day. But sadly I didn’t get one this year! I choose a Bunn...

Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; Dear Alexander. This shouldn’t be Normal. On September 1, 2014. Julia was having a rough time this morning. One that only a 2 year old can understand! There was nothing “wrong” with her, she wasn’t hurt or hungry. Her diaper was fine. Maybe she was just tired? Maybe she was upset because I was going upstairs and leaving her to play with all her toys? We wanted to know the truth when it came to what would happen to our son. Maybe it was the feeding tube? As hard as...

Oreo Cookie Day!! | thecookiegal
https://thecookiegal.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/oreo-cookie-day-2
Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; Camp Sunshine. A Great Oreo Cookie Day! On June 21, 2013. As many of you know, because of Alexander’s tumor, he was not able to eat and was on TPN almost the whole time he was in treatment. He did however enjoy and Oreo Cookie on occasion! He had his first Oreo on June 25, 2010. We have since declared June 25th to be Oreo Cookie Day and ask everyone to have an Oreo in his honor. 1 Does it have to be a Regular Oreo? Foods brand, that is FINE! The more the Merrier!

Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; This shouldn’t be Normal. On November 11, 2014. Last night I had a dream that I was on a roller coaster. It was a crazy ride, but the scary part was that the roller coaster was falling apart as we were riding it! I often feel like my life is like that. A crazy roller coaster ride that is sometimes falling apart. We have returned once again from a wonderful weekend at Camp Sunshine. I have written about our time here before:. Honestly, I don’t remember being ...

More on the Roller Coaster | thecookiegal
https://thecookiegal.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/more-on-the-roller-coaster
Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; Holiday Season. More on the Roller Coaster. On December 22, 2014. I was reading a story recently about a man who had lost his wife to STUPID cancer. He said it wasn’t so much the anniversary days (day of death, her birthday, etc) that he had the most emotions at. He expected those days, he could “plan” for them. But rather, it was the random things, that thru him on an intense emotional ride. 7 responses to “ More on the Roller Coaster. December 23, 2014 at 4:45 am.

Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; Roller Coaster Ride. More on the Roller Coaster. On November 28, 2014. So the holiday season is upon us. Yes, I said HOLIDAY season. So sorry if that “offends” anyone! Yesterday was Thanksgiving, soon it will be Hanukkah. I saw someone else say, that it is the ADVENT season, and we shouldn’t say Christmas, because the “Christmas” season, doesn’t actually start until December 25th. Wikipedia has this to say:.

Welcome to the CookieGal's world! Laquo; Think Before You Speak. On May 28, 2013. We have returned again from another wonderful bereavement Weekend at Camp Sunshine. Perhaps the words “wonderful” and “bereavement” seem odd words to put together, but as I said in my post last year,. Some of the new families were there in hopes of hearing when it will get “better and easier”. Sadly, they heard the truth – it doesn’t get better or easier, just DIFFERENT! So once again – I have some new friends that I ...
