• She slept better last night. The sores in her mouth didn’t hurt as much, but her nail beds felt worse.

    Three weeks between infusions let’s her hair grow back just a little between each. She looks cute with a little fuzz on top.

    She still smiles. It fills me with joy every time. Laughing hurts but those smiles…

          I’m definitely getting nit-picky, but I’m seeing a lot of definitions for what a soul is (from an Ecosia search), and one definition I like is “an individual person.” I generally think of a soul as someone’s consciousness, which to me means that all life has souls. But I have been called a hippie before 😅
