I am one of the most distinguished Event Planners in Monroe, WA. I specialize in Birthday Party Planners, Corporate Event Planners, Event Coordinators, Party Planners, Event Decor, and ClassesA long time ago I had a son. He was a beautiful little boy who just so happened to have cancer as a baby. His life was not meant to be a long one. He was incurable. My goal as his mother was to create joy in all my moments with him. I wanted to give that to him as a way to cope with the reality of his existence. I made that decision early on in his fight for what little life he was given. Things were tough for me. His suffering was immense, and I had to watch. I remember sitting in the tiny rooms in the oncology ward. The walls were thin and one could hear all the cries of the kids and parents getting bad news down the corridor. Sometimes we would have to sit for 2 hours, sometimes 12 hours. It depended on the chemotherapy that day. It was all bitterly exhausting. I figured out a way to save both of us. I loved balloons. I bought tons of mylar balloons and blew them up before clinic days. Max loved this. The balloons were small and I could fasten them on sticks and make a giant bouquet. I took them to the clinic and gave them to the nurses to hand out each time we went. Instead of hearing cries, I got to listen to joy coming out of the rooms. The nurses would walk in and give them to all the kids and I could hear the nurses say, “these are from a mother just like you in one of our other rooms.
