Here I Am
Today marks 1 year since Bruno’s cancer diagnosis.
To those of you who stuck around, thanks for waiting.
To those of you who recently joined, hang on, there is a story to tell.
Here I am, here we are.
This is what has happened to us in the past year: a cancer diagnosis, a few weeks shy of Bruno’s 20th birthday. 11 intense cycles of chemotherapy. A severe bilateral pneumonia. A massive surgery in which Bruno had his left hip and femur bones replaced with a metal prosthesis. A bone marrow transplant.
Here is what also happened: so much pain, so much love.
After a long hiatus for the above mentioned reasons, I feel almost ready to come back to this space, to writing. I want it. I have yet to determine its shape; life has changed, and as this space is somewhat of a mirror of life, writing must change too.
I am not sure how the events of the past year will leak into upcoming posts and stories, but I know I can’t leave it out, because that’s what is.
Food will still have its place, because it’s my love language, and because nurturing/nourishing Bruno has been a major part of the last year.
Please stay tuned, I am coming back for more.





Sending so much love and healing, Camila. It’s lovely to see Bruno smiling. He’s so lucky to have you as his mom.
So nice to have you back. Sending love to you and family.
