Happy Thanksgiving
It's hard to believe that it's alreay thanksgiving. That's crazy. There is a lot to be thankful for. This is only my 2nd thanksgiving since my surgery and tumor and it really makes you think. I have so much to be thankful for. First off, I'm alive. Hard to believe that a year and a half ago I was basically given a death sentence. Before I go to bed every night I can't help but think about that day when I was told that I had a brain tumor, packing my bags while crying with my sister, waiting in the hospital room for the doctor, and then hysterically crying asking the doctors if I was going to die. You never think that it's going to happen to you...and then out of nowhere, it does. It's something you would never expect....I mean, you only think that it happens to "other" people. Well, I got my reality check. I'm so very happy to be alive and I appreciate life so much.
Things I am thankful for:
- Surviving and Living my life and Being alive
- My tumor hasn't grown back..............yet
- Christi and Tim, my bestest friends in the entire world
- Renee, the greatest sister ever
- My family, even though we have our share of fights
- My health thus far
- Friends like Maryann, Sarah, Jesse, Stephanie, Aylin
- Good grades and High G.P.A. at school
- Being part of the soccer team and making new friends
- Being granted my wish of being able to meet Celine Dion and seeing her in concert in Las Vegas.
- Living in a nice house
- Being able to do nice things with my family/friends
- Having a good life without too many problems
- Being loved by so many people around me...
Happy Thanksgiving all. Remember to think about all that you are thankful for today. I <3 you all. Have a great holiday and be ready to go back to school for more work on Monday.
