I am going to write about what I had intended.
We decided to build a home. If it were not for cancer we would probably still be living in our duplex.
We would not have met and made friends with some wonderful neighbors. Parker wouldn't have friends next door to play with.
We would not have gone to to Disney World and Universal Studios. That was such an amazing trip and one we will never forget. Kristin did so much planning and organizing it for all of us. Parker still asks at least once a week if we can go back to Florida. We give a special thanks to Memories of Love for helping to make the trip happen. They are a great organization.
Kristin probably would not have been a stay-at-home mom. Parker and her had a lot of special time together that would not have happened without cancer.
Parker and Kristin would not have biked to local ponds on a weekly basis during the summer to go fishing. This may have prevented Parker from associating me with being the one that isn't very good at getting the fish off the hook, but maybe I can surprise him this summer :)
Kristin probably would not have met some very good friends that she got to know through her Mom's Meetup Group. It is hard to imagine the void that would be there without those friends.
We developed some amazing friendships with people at our church that would have been much different or may never have evolved to where they are today without cancer.
The connection we have with our church community would have been so much different without cancer. It is hard to imagine feeling quite as connected or as loved by the people there if it had not been for cancer.
Kristin would have had much less time for crafting, knitting, quilting and making things for Parker.
Liz and Fynn may not have had hand-knitted blankets from aunt Krissy.
