Harvey’s first days back at school… and honestly, it feels like watching life slowly breathe again.
After years of hospitals, routines built around chemo, and a world that became very small… suddenly it’s school bags, classrooms, chatter, and that beautiful kind of normal we once took for granted.
And me? I’m feeling everything at once. Pride. Relief. Fear. Gratitude. Letting go, even just for a few hours, still pulls at something deep in my chest. But watching him walk into this next chapter with excitement… that’s the kind of courage you can’t teach. That’s lived.
So yes… we’re celebrating.
In the most unapologetic, joy-filled, slightly chaotic way… with cake. Every single day.
Because after everything his little body has been through, after every needle, every tear, every “just one more treatment”… if he wants cake, he gets cake.
No rules. No guilt. Just moments.
Because this isn’t just about going back to school.
It’s about reclaiming childhood.
It’s about sweetness after survival.
It’s about choosing joy wherever we can find it.
And right now… joy tastes a lot like cake 💛
