I got frustrated, mad and sad trying to do my schoolwork today that felt too hard. And then I cried a little and it was okay. The crying sometimes makes things feel better.
I loved getting new Beyblades this year. They helped me get through all of the needles and scary stuff. The hardest part of the past year was really needles and dressing changes.
I don't feel scared anymore when I have to go to CHEO. This is because I learned to take deep breaths and calm myself down when I get needles.
I'm okay with my blindness now. It made me feel scared and mad at first that I couldn't see. I just decided to accept that I'm going to be blind. I'm still the same even though I'm blind. So far there's not really anything I can't do.
I want to say thank you to everybody who got me through this. Thanks for all of your help and kindness. And thank you for all of the gifts.
Cancer's ass has been kicked (this is the one bad word my dad let me use this year)!
(Note from Dawn that this is a transcript of exactly what Ollie told me he wanted to say.)
