In one week, it will be one year since Channing was diagnosed with Leukemia. It still seems surreal. I have been thinking about this day (March 9th) a lot and have been trying to think of something that I could do to honor everyone who has helped us this last year. I read on a friends blog about the Birthday Project, doing random acts of kindness on your birthday, or other important dates. I think this will be a fun thing to do for the one year anniversary of Channing's diagnosis. Not sure how many I will be able to do with 4 littles (I am going to aim for 10), but I am going to do my best and that’s what matters J I would love it if any of you also wanted to do this (just one random act of kindness) and then let me know what you did, and maybe even share a picture with me.
This last year has been a difficult one, and I have tried to make a hard situation a positive experience and I hope that I can do this 'Birthday Project' every year on the anniversary of Channing's diagnosis to help build happy memories for our family even in the most difficult times.
I still remember the sweet young lady who gave me extra snickers on my snickers ice cream the day after Channing was diagnosed. She had no idea what I was going through but that small act of kindness put a smile on my face which was a huge thing for a mother who just found out her son had cancer. I am excited to pass happiness on with some random acts of kindness. Who knows, maybe I will go back to the fast food resturant and see if I can get in touch with the stranger who made such a difference to me.
