Embrace Compassion

September is pediatric cancer awareness month.

His life was beautiful, ordinary, and so much fun… until it wasn’t. And there wasn’t anything we could do to stop the suffering and death. His Neuroblastoma journey was 9 months long. $1.1M Unmeasurable pain, suffering and trauma for all of us.

The treatments used for children are outdated and rarely work. The outcomes are bleak. The secondary cancers from the treatment itself come later when least suspected.

I wish I didn’t have to say we know, but we do.

We miss him. Pediatric cancer is not rare. There are many more like us.

Julian Peace, forever 12 days short of 2 1/2 years old.

An evening of delight before the Saturday event! We are so excited to share the farm beauty with our families! Children in cancer treatment and their families enjoy time together, creative activities, delicious food, and the support of an incredible community. Our families post treatment come back and volunteer. It’s a win for all of us!

Sundays are our day to escape to the river. It’s been a busy season and we are grateful for the time together. Even Farmers need a break! Sunday evening wouldn’t be complete without that evening walk around, enjoying the beauty that’s starting to show. It’s going to be a great week at the farm! Join us at the farm to volunteer or shop our flowers and produce. We would love to see you!

I’m so grateful for the farm. It’s a stunning space that encourages life for plants and humans. Community is found among the story telling and connecting. Joy and delight are found between the rows of flowers and clusters of grapes. Giggles show up while feeding the goats grass.

July 12th. Six years ago we celebrated the life of our little boy, Julian Peace, with the first garden at Pearl Street Urban Farm. We had no idea what would happen next but we were determined to fight for our joy and continue to love ourselves and others.

I’d like to remember that day, six years ago, as a the beginning of something new and beautiful, more so than the end of the most incredible journey of doing daily life with Julian.

We are grateful for the children and families, the volunteers, the donors, those learning skills and people who call us their friends.

These gardens represent so much love shared. Today is a day we remember and express our gratitude for new beginnings and all that has come from this land and Julian’s farm over the last 6 years.

Happy 8 1/2 year old birthday JuJu! Happy garden dedication day. We miss you forever and always.
