It’s to read.
People (including family) have often wondered why I continue writing this blog. While,I no longer am living in a hospital room in isolation with an immune comprised child with cancer, this I still continue.
One would think I would drop the blog among all of the other things I have going on as it existed to communicate with the outside world when I lived in a pediatric oncology ward.
But while it started as a way to inform you, it quickly morphed as a way to inform ME. It was my learning tool. It was a daily read that allowed me to see that the days were actually turning. As many days I was unsure. It allowed me to say, “I did that.” Jacob “survived that.”
And damn- sometimes I have good advice for me:) I stumbled upon this one today.
I don’t know who out there needs to read this one again, but I had to today.
When the world feels especially dark, turn to the graphs. If you turn to the data and you see a beautiful curve of learning. I wish I could speed humanity up. I wish I could shake it and say NO MORE. But man has to learn its lessons on its own time and it is learning. It is painfully slow, but overall we are learning.
Written in 2021, but feels like today:
