That is incredible news!

Last week I was bragging to the boys that I saved Jiminy Cricket from drowning in our swimming pool. He came and dried off by me while I sat outside. I decided to snap a photo for the memory book. I was excitedly sharing the photo of one of my favorite insect celebrities only to have my boys burst my bubble and declare it to be a grasshopper not a cricket. Oh how I loved Jiminy Cricket. "I play safe for you and me 'cause I'm no fool."

Ahhh! Thank you for sharing Billie. 😄

Your comment sent me off to learn more about Jiminy... I guess Pinocchio's story didn't leave a big impression on me in childhood?

From this Fandom site: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Jiminy_Cricket

I learned Jiminy grew and transformed along with Pinocchio and was appointed as his conscience by the Blue Fairy!

I figured if I made the cricket a centerpiece in a love letter, I should learn a little more about him. 😂

Margaret! I am blessed with amazing doctors and nurses who work as a team. Even since I began treatment in February there have been studies and advancements that are making my treatment less invasive. I am grateful for all of those who study, research, and care for patients who are cancer-ing along with me.

“When we make it safe to fail… we make it safe to succeed.” I am happy the work of Kobi Yamada is resonating with you. Your work certainly resonates with me! You, Typist, and The Girls have my full attention on a regular basis, even when I don’t reply.

Looking forward to hearing more about your cancering journey today... 🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼

Absolutely love the work of Kobi Yamada! I am finding it incredibly inspirational.

Great news from the surgeon and radiation oncologist. I am healing well. Because my pathology was "clean" I only need 15 radiation treatments. 🎉
