NAKED BOY

     This is Charlie 3 weeks post opt and let me tell you he is doing so good!! He has tough days still and some scary moments but he is so strong and willing to do anything to be happy. He is awesome!! He’s been wearing my under armor shirt the past few weeks to stay warm (Yup, we wear the same size lol) and last night we took it off. The second the shirt his the floor he RAN, yes ran, out of the room leap and barking as if to say ” I’m Free I’m FREEEEEE”
     The past 3 weeks have literally been the LONGEST 3 weeks of my life.  My hope is that someone who is new to tripawds will read this and know its going to be ok because I sure didn’t and I would never imagine that Charlie would go from crying in pain and not being able to move to this little show off in just 2 weeks. I thought things would never change and that we made a mistake but you have to go through all those emotions to understand and be able to appreciate the entire journey.
     Charlie is 12 years old and most people said that since he’s so old we should just put him down and he wouldnt be in pain anymore but honestly look at the face and tell me we didnt do the right thing. Just because he has cancer doesnt mean his life is over. All it means is that he has a new beginning and a new adventure to take on!!!
    So for all you new members and Pawrents that are just starting your journey just know this….Like everything in life: It gets better!!! <3 Take the time to appreciate and love your little one and know that this is going to be a great adventure for the entire family!
