Your Brain is a Garden

Consider your brain a garden where beautiful wonderfully made things are grown all the time. Every once in awhile, a weed grows.

A brain weed.

This is the analogy the internet gave me at 4am after an incredible ER doc (Dr. Shipman) told us our son had a brain tumor. In a state of complete shock I googled "how to tell your child about a brain tumor"... and so began the adventure we never asked for in learning what one does when there is a weed in the garden.
