Yesterday, I told you to prepare for impact. And if you haven't already, you need to start.
Nearly every country country in the West is warning its people to get ready. America isn't going to be the exception. If a crisis hits here or the grid goes dark, nobody from Washington will show up to save you right away.
You don't need a bunker or a fortune. But you do need a plan. And this is how you do it.

Frunk or Treat.

Every Hope Box, family grant, and rocket kit we give out starts with someone who chose to care.
Our Stargrace Circle monthly givers help us say yes to families facing pediatric cancer all year long, not just when a need makes the news.
If Liv's story has touched your heart, we'd love for you to join the circle today: โค๏ธ

This was one of Liv's favorite things to get in the mail.
A charity called With Love makes every box for that child. Liv's was full of Miku, and they even made one for Abby, filled with girly things.
That smile inspired our Hope Boxes. They're packed with Liv's favorite things and the things we needed in the hospital but sometimes forgot. @Liv_Stargrace
We chose to include siblings, because Abby was so often left out. And we include moms, because I know what it's like. Liv was my number one priority, never what I needed.
That smile is what we want every family to feel when they open one. ๐

My moon photo yesterday was terrible, someone suggested to try night mode and no flash.
Tried it this morning from my sidewalk when I took the dogs out.
Stars showed up. ๐๐โจ

I keep watching this just to see her alive again. ๐
Found a video of Liv throwing axes that day. Not matter how terrible she felt, she still tried to enjoy the day. โค๏ธ

I took about 50,000 photos through a 14" telescope last night to produce this: A hyper-detailed photo of the full moon. The fidelity of the photo was great enough to allow me to greatly enhance the color, revealing a hidden world of geological diversity.

I'm terrible at taking night photos.
Anyone have some tips?!
Here's my photo of this morning's full Hunter's Moon...
and here's what Grok fixed ๐
Either way, it was glowing over the trees and it was breathtaking.
No matter where we are, we're all looking up at the same sky Liv loved. ๐

This is how @NASA does game day. Roll Tide! ๐๐
This is the smile I remember most.
When Liv was fighting cancer, friends and strangers would show up with baskets full of little things to get her through the hard days. She lit up every time.
Now we get to be the people showing up.
That's what @Liv_Stargrace's Hope Boxes are for.

One year ago Liv had her post T-cell PET and MRI scans in Seattle.
We hoped and prayed for the best. Deep down, I already knew it didnโt work. I had watched her decline over the six weeks we were there.
I still held onto the miracle as hard as I could.

Two years ago we stood in line at Elonโs town hall in Philadelphia.
Liv had a PET scan that morning at CHOP. She still made me wait. She wanted to see him in person. She stayed until the end of the night so she could finally ask him a question.
I have the video of her talking to him. Iโll never get another one. ๐

Last year in Seattle, Liv's immune system was finally recovering and she wanted to see the Space Needle.
We only got three more months with her after this.
Two years ago, for one night, we stood with the Polaris Dawn crew, and we forgot her cancer was back.
After her lung surgery, we almost said no to Antarctica.
I already knew what a second time meant. If it came back once, it was going to come back again. The first time she was diagnosed, I refused to believe that. We were going to be the family that beat it. We were wrong.
We said yes anyway.
She stood on the snow in an orange jacket with Asteroid on her chest. She made it to Antarctica. Most people never do.
We were not collecting trips. We were collecting memories with her.

My sweet girl.
We took this picture by the lake a couple years ago.
It doesnโt feel the same without you. The spot where you should be standing is empty now, and Abby and I felt it yesterday.
Missing you so much today. ๐
