You do an amazing job of staying on track, planning and doing what you're "supposed" to do but sometimes living is just more important. We only go around once so there should be some fun involved. Best part was reading that you enjoyed every bite and didn't feel bad. ENJOY!

LOL at the cookies. My son was decorating his and instead of sprinkling the sprinkles lightly, he kind of dumped it over so there was a HUGE pile on one cookie. He just looked at me with this look that said, "What do I do now?" Haha I think it's good you ate there.

It's such a hard situation, but to me, the silver lining is that his amazing spirit has inspired not only the people he's interacted with his whole life, but also thousands of strangers - to smile more and love every second of life.
