Momma's Birthday

It's crazy how well Dilara has been handling her radiation treatments. You'd never even think anything is wrong. That's why I am even more thankful that I took her to the ER when I did, and I am glad that we opted to do the CT Scan that day. Otherwise, I don't know if we would have known she had brain cancer, even up until this point. She woke up early this morning and made me the cutest happy birthday sign, made me a cup of coffee, and woke me up by singing happy birthday to me. Then I cried. I made Dilara promise me that she is gonna do whatever it takes to beat this thing. She hates when I cry. We had to get ready to leave for her treatment at the proton center. I had so much to do before we could leave; laundry, cleaning; paperwork; a meeting with the social worker at RMH. My daily to-do list just feels never-ending and makes my head spin. Sometimes I literally feel like I am going to fall over. We headed home and she fell asleep in the car, but not before posting her 'Best m🩷m Ever' sign on the back window.

Cenk and I went out to dinner even though we are completely exhausted. We haven't been on a date since May 30, 2023. Yup, married life. 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️
