Lans, this is one of the last posts I had on my personal blog about your treatment before I started this one for you. . . This truly was the best day. Right about this time last year you were receiving your first round of chemo. The cancer was everywhere in your body and while you rarely complained. . . you were clearly in agony and could barely move. I was blessed with the opportunity of having Thursdays and Fridays with you and the boys during that first several months of chemo. I miss watching reruns of Modern family with you on my couch. I miss talking with you. You were so strong Lans. . so unbelievably brave. Scared to death but determined to win.
So here is the moment we dreamed would last forever:
This picture was snapped just moments after Ilana and Ben heard that the pet scan showed no sign of cancer. It is a moment I will never forget. My brother Ben looked as if the weight of the world was just taken off his shoulders. He was holding baby Andrew and looking at Matthew, "These bubbies need their mama." Words can not adequately express my feelings.
