Be brave

When we scheduled the DBS surgery in March we were also rather entrenched in reading and re-reading the "Divergent"

series.  One character tells another repeatedly to "Be Brave".   This is about the same time Sara Bareilles is singing about seeing us all being "brave".  

Since March we have written this statement on our arms, on Libby's arm, on notes to her, on our family message board- well everywhere.  April had these temporary tattoos made and Libby has shared then with a few friends and loved ones.   When the kids were getting ready to take their SAT test, Libby had me passing them out. When one of her school friends was going to interview for a summer job, Libby passed on a temp tattoo.  

So, friends and loved ones, be brave. 

We are two and a half hours into the DBS brain lead placement and be brave.

Libby told a teary eyes nurse that she was "ready" at 7:15 am and then Libby stated very clearly that she is brave.  

Yes, brave.  All of our supporters are.  Love and blessings.
