Today is day 100 since my dear friend received her stem cell transplant. On day 11, I was able to visit her to document her journey. We put on her stem cell transplant playlist as Courtney and her husband, Guy, shared some laughs, then some tears, then they filled their hearts looking at pictures of their baby Bear that she was unable to see during her recovery in the hospital.
Oh, the power of freezing time through photography. Looking back, it still brings tears to my eyes. She texted me today and said "I can't believe I made it this far." Of course you made it Courtney, of course you did.
