In one week we will be jet setting for Orlando. We were picked to be one of the 30 families to attend a “legacy trip” put on by an organization called Inheritance of Hope (IoH).
A legacy is basically what it sounds like. It’s a thing I get to plan and leave behind for my kids and husband. This could be in the form of letters, videos, things that I have made or set aside, etc. For this trip, I will be creating a legacy video. I am not sure how or what it will all entail yet, as I have been avoiding the hard stuff, but IoH has been great about sending us tools for making a video.
During this retreat, we will be meeting these other families that have a parent with MBC. There are kids of all ages and families from all different backgrounds. It will be nice for all of us to connect with other families like ours.
Some of the weekend will include break out sessions where we get to discuss MBC (broken out by age for kids or caregiver or patient) but also a lot of the weekend will be spent playing at The Magic Kingdom, Sea World, and Universal Studios.
IoH provides everything we could possibly need for the weekend. It’s amazing. I am thrilled that we will get to have fun as a family as well as give me the push and platform that I need to do something I really want to do but am lost on how to do it (the video).
Stay tuned for photos and a recap of the weekend when we return!

Hi Hannah. I’m just one of the many following along, at times chuckling with tears in my eyes, at times fiercely visualizing and praying those cancer cells away. I am thankful that I can picture your warm and lovely home and your family in it, and know that is the scene you come home to after a hard (or a great!) day. Thank you for frequently pointing out that life is beautiful. It is particularly poignant coming from someone who could claim the opposite. You bring a lot to the interweb with your mindful living, huge heart and sharp wit. I’m grateful for your posts. I hope the video process brings you a surprising does of joy & peace. With love, Bug Ruder
