We Wish We Weren’t Doing This…

We wish we weren’t doing this.

Not exactly the type of opening post they suggest in Blogging 101. But now that we’ve made you feel so welcome, let us explain.

We wish we were humming along in our day to day lives, never giving a thought to putting our innermost thoughts out there for anyone to view on the Internet.

We wish there was nothing noteworthy to share.

But, here we are.

Private people by nature, we are ready to share.

We are ready to share the struggles, the grief, the joys, and also the mundane with you.

We are living proof you can have all of the above coexisting in the same moment.

And we are doing this as much for ourselves as for any reader. Writing is therapy for us, and the catharsis of getting all those swirling, restless thoughts out of our heads and onto paper is freeing.

So while we may wish our circumstances were different, that we never had the idea and especially the experience to start a blog chronicling a devastating childhood cancer or a decades long fight with endometriosis and infertility, here we are.

We have learned that love is stronger than anything and joy is always there, but you have to choose it.

We hope you come along on this ride with us, sharing your struggles, grief, joys, and mundane along the way.

We can navigate this, together.

  1. ❤❤❤ I love that you three sisters are there for each other and now there for so many more through your blog.

  2. I know from my own but different experience that being open and vulnerable was in some sense healing and more so brought a community together who also felt so alone. I can only imagine the fear and pain you all are going through and am with you in the very least I can do. I will Listen. As painful as this is I know you and your family are closer, more honest and stronger than you’ve ever been even though you were already close. I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart that Dylan and you all must go on this journey.

  3. You girls are amazing. Continue to cling to each other, your spouses, your parents and friends and family. There are only questions, no answers at times. We walked in the Wood family shoes a long time ago. We asked many times “why us” when other young families lives seemed untouched by anything but normal days, weeks, months and years…relish every moment you all have together. You are admired for your strength. Special thoughts.

    1. Thank you Ruthe. I am so sorry that you have been in these shoes and experienced this suffering. You are the example of “better not bitter” that Casey has referred to, although we know that doesn’t take away the pain. You and Grant have always been so special to all of us. ❤
