Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while. Yes, I said I would be more active, but we have been working very hard and making so much progress. You will see a lot more starting now.

Today, I post because I want to share that this day - 3 years ago - my oldest child was diagnosed with AML, one of the toughest types of leukemia to treat. I am so happy to say she is a cancer-free, healthy, happy and all things a 17 year old woman can be. I love my Steem family.

Tough cookie. That's a difficult age at the best of times. Adult enough to understand the stakes; still too young to have developed the coping skills. Can't imagine how hard that must have been on you all.
Big congratulations from my family to yours.

Aww your younger son is an exact copy of you. How cute! :)

Wonderful and congratulations. That must have been so scary and it must be such a relief now. If there's anything nice about a health scare, it is that we learn not to take anything for granted and be thankful for every moment.

You are so right!

Woohoo! Oh yeah!

I am really happy to read that - all the best to your whole family!

Thanks for sharing the personal news...glad to hear she is healthy now..

Cheers..

I salute you for staying by your daughter as she was defeating AML.
Health and happiness restored.
Steem loves you too.

Thanks for sharing the good news about your daughter. I can't imagine how difficult it is deal with cancer at such a young age.

Also great to see you posting again. I think 2019 will be an exciting year, I look forward to updates on progress.

2019 is our year and 2020 and beyond...

Whoa! Well done to you all for smashing AML, I imagine it was an incredibly tough but extremely educational time for everyone, but particularly for a young lady going through some of the hardest and most confusing formative years in most people's lives. Amazing. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth.

we are so lucky.

And tough, I'm sure.

Glad to hear she is doing well! That must have been a rough diagnosis for a mother to hear.

Glad to hear everything worked out for her @elipowell
