Things I Talk About:
The Call: A Moment Frozen in Time
The evening was tranquil, the ordinary humdrum of household noises lulling me into a sense of normalcy when the phone rang – and everything changed. Expecting nothing more than a routine update, I let the unfamiliar number go to voicemail. But as soon as I heard the pediatrician’s voice, laden with an unusual gravity, a deep dread settled in. Within moments, I was thrust into a nightmare, scribbling frantic notes as he spoke the unimaginable: “I’m 99% sure it’s a form of Leukemia.” My world shattered in an instant, the weight of those words collapsing onto my shoulders as I sank to my knees. The days that followed were a blur of tests, procedures, medications, and the ceaseless echo of my questions and fears.

How Our Homeschooling Journey Began: Finding Our Path Amidst Challenges
The traditional schooling system often failed to address our children’s unique learning needs. Our turning point where we decided to never look back at public school again, came when our oldest son was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2021, forcing us to reconsider how we would balance education with health going forward. The pandemic throwing us into the homeschooling world turned out to be a blessing in disguise, offering the flexibility we needed during this challenging period. Despite initial struggles with finding the right curriculum, we eventually discovered a tailored, online approach that re-ignited our
