"Its been a long road, getting from there to here. Its been a long time, but my time is finally near. I can feel a change in the wind right now, nothings in my way."
I cant believe that a year ago I had a one week old baby girl, and I was undergoing brain surgery to remove as much of a tumor as they could. Now I have a one woman destruction team and some hair on my head finally. Its been an incredible journey, one that will never be forgotten (not that we could even begin to try) and one that will never end, although it is now different.
In a year I've undergone two major surgeries and two minor surgeries. In all my life I've never had surgery and suddenly in one year I've had FOUR of them. Its insane to think of the road we all have traveled in the past year and how much we've all changed. The road less traveled and yet my HUGE family just traveled down it all together. I imagine us, a la wizard of oz style, skipping away from the Wicked Witch's castle, arm in arm, down the yellow brick road, heading back to Emerald City with the broomstick in our hands. We all found our heart, brain and courage and we are ready to head home. A beautiful, beautiful place.
One year. Amazing words. I survived the past year to make it out stronger in the end. I survived and will keep surviving. I will be strong and brave and no matter what happens I will hold my head up high, fight what needs fighting and continue to have my dignity.
"I will be here, I will be strong, I'll face my fears when the night is long, and still go on. I will be free, I will be bold, follow my faith to a higher road. I'm not there yet, but I will be."
Be well...
