Interview by Sandy C. at ConnectingMoms
Grab some tissues before proceeding if your tears run easily like mine.

A lot of times I don’t believe things happen for a reason, but if I allow myself to take a closer look to dissect and analyze events and sequences in which they happen, I often end up with the conclusion that indeed, things do happen for a reason.
I “met” Sandy because of this year’s Nablopomo. Her blog is Momisodes. She’s funny, witty, talented, beautiful inside and out, and our two-year-old daughters are exactly 6 days apart. From reading her blog, she’s also likely to have the same taste in food choices as I do. I wonder how often we would hit the noodle joints and dimsum places together if we lived closer and close to good ethnic foods.
Unbeknownst to me, Sandy is also a co-founder of ConnectingMoms, and she wanted to interviewed me! I was very excited at the opportunity and said yes. Here’s the interview link, in which you’ll read about some of the things in my past and where I talked a little about our store KangarooBoo as well. Little did I know she also wrote a very moving post about me yesterday on her blog. I cried when I read her post. I broke down and wads of tissues ensued wiping my eyes and nose.
Thank you Sandy for everything. I am so glad to have met you online and hope we will meet in person some day. I’m sure our girls will enjoy each other’s company as well.

*sniff*……okay…..Just a few Kleenex.
Thanks so much J. It’s been a pleasure and I too indeed believe that things happen for a reason
If we ever really “meet”….Dim Sum and noodles will be a must!
Sending a ((virtual hug)).
(I think we’re playing Pingback ping- pong, lol!)

What an amazing story. You have had such a hard journey for someone so young, yet you have learned what is really important in life. Thanks for sharing. Your story gives hope to people like me who are having to walk that hard road and hope for a loved one to survive cancer. Thanks.

In answer to your question. My husband has Multiple Myloma. He is going to have a stem cell transplant. He will be admitted to the hospital on Dec. 27. This is the last treatment in a process that began last March. It has been a long and painful road. I blog about this on “The John Braun page” to keep family and friends updated. I love to read survival stories and talk weekly to a lady who survived Multiple Myloma…she has been a rock to me.
