Today marks 9 years since Brylee passed. So much has happened and changed. Cory and I got divorced 3 years ago. He is remarried and I'm engaged. Bryker will ne starting high school in the fall. He is taller than me and has a mustache!! Byrklee will be starting middle school and she is almost as tall as me. She has turned into an absolutley gorgeous pre-teen girl! She asked me to teach her how to use make-up! Can you believe that? Yikes! Byrlin is almost 8 years old. She is a spunky firecracker just like Bree. Byrlin and Brylee would have been best friends. Absolutely best friends. Byrlin and Byrklee are so different they fight constantly. But I see so much of Brylee in Byrlin. She absolutely adores dance just like Bree did. She's confident and outspoken...just like her big sister.I finally achieved my goal of being a police officer. If it had not been for Brylee teaching me to reach for the stars i would have never accomplished my goal.
I think about Brylee everday. I cannot believe it has been 9 years since I last held her. Sunday she should be turning 13 and entering her last year of middle school. But I am happy. My other children have grown into beautiful young adults. My fiance, Jason Wenger, is the most amazing man I have ever met! Jason's 2 children are incredible and I'm so blessed to have them in my life.
Next year marks 10 years and I will write another update. Just remember you can do hard things. Brylee was the definition of that quote...she did hard things and she came out on top. She is my superhero! I love you all and thank you so much for your support during the worst trial of my life.
Brylee Olson was diagnosed with a DIPG, an inoperable brain tumor (infiltrating brain stem glioma) on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. This is a blog for her and her fight to be in the 5% who survive 3-4 years. Or the rare chance of complete survival.
