The Other Parents

The other parents at gymnastics might have looked at me a bit strange when right at this moment, I got a little teary eyed.

Ok, I cried.

The song from Moana came on. Don’t judge me.

The other parents don’t know we watched her go through 19 cycles of chemotherapy and that mop on her head is something she is incredibly proud of .

The other parents don’t know that we’ve calmed her countless times as she woke up startled from anesthesia.

The other parents don’t know that we’ve seen tubes and wires sticking from her little body.

The other parents don’t know that we didn’t think she was going to make it through that first night after her first surgery to remove the tumor from her liver.

The other parents don’t know that our little fighter is in remission.

The other parents don’t know and not knowing isn’t a bad thing.

The other parents know she’s just a normal girl.

The Braden Bin

Welcome to the second installment of The Braden Bin, formerly known as Friday Finds. Yep, week two and the name has already changed. For those that know me know that it is likely to change a few dozen more times. Just the way I am. I'm comfortable with it. (Haha, by the way, I actually changed the title AGAIN, while writing this blog. It was Ben's Bin. Oh me oh my.) Music I'm Jamming To: Coming Home by Leon Bridges A blast from the past out of Ft. Worth,Texas. That's right, not Detroit in the '60s...Ft. Worth, Texas - 2016. Most of you probably have heard of him already but if you haven't, I'd suggest getting on the bandwagon now. This guy is amazing and is only going to gain more popularity. I cannot wait for his next album to come out. If you are into Vinyl, I strongly suggest picking this one up. Bonus: Lisa Sawyer by Leon Bridges What I'm watching : German Coast Guard - what are yo...

The Braden Bin - 6/9/16

Quote that's got me thinking: "When teachers talk to teachers, good things happen." I'm not sure who to give credit to for this quote but I first heard it from Plano ISD's superintendent Dr. Binggeli during his first "speech" to the administrators in the district. That was at the beginning of the year, and here I am, in the first week since teachers and students have left for the summer, still pondering it. I think for too long the teaching profession went like this - This is my classroom, these are my students. I'll do my thing and you'll do yours. Good luck and good riddance! Now, the teaching profession is moving in the direction of collaboration, sharing of resources and ideas, etc. Educators are realizing that much can be learned from their comrades. #AmIrightTOTY?

She Doesn't Hold it Against Us

We had an appointment with the doc today to discuss options moving forward regarding Avery's fight against cancer. Despite her 14th round of chemo, her cancer doesn't seem to be affected much by it. Perhaps I can update you in a later post about all of that but before I do, I want to talk about love. Avery has a port and she HATES getting it accessed. I hate having to hold her legs so she doesn't kick the nurses and I hate the fact that my wife has to hold her arms so she also doesn't hit the nurses while they are attempting to access her. She screams until she can hardly breathe. She cries until she can hardly cry. Sometimes another nurse has to assist us in holding her down because she is doing everything in the power of her little body to stop us from "poking" her. Anytime I've had to witness this, which isn't as often as my wife has, part of my soul is ripped from my body. It's really hard being a father whose job it is to protect hi...
