This is our journey with our daughter Shannon through treatment for, and ultimately death from, a brainstem glioma tumor. We continue to write about our lives after Shannon's passing as we try to carry on her spirit. We are writing from the heart - parental discretion advised.

Yes, the crazy family has arrived in London!
Pay no attention to the bags under my eyes... many possible explanations: Could be the two hours of sleep I've had since Wednesday night. Could be the longer than expected waits in airports. (Two mechanical issues on two different planes meant two extra hours of travel time.) It could be my impending birthday...
We are here and we are fighting our body clocks to stay up until it's bedtime here in London. We walked through Borough's Market, had a pub lunch and heard the tales of torture during a tour of the Tower of London.
Tomorrow's plan: spending my birthday on the hallowed grounds at Wimbledon. No complaints...
