One Year.

I was thankful to be able to spend time with my brother on Sunday. He took me for a ride on his bike. One year ago I didn't know if I would be here.

Sunday marked one year since my diagnosis. So I have lived one year as a cancer survivor. I still cannot believe I am a cancer survivor. I don't understand why I have cancer nor why I am a survivor. I don't feel that I am deserving of either. Last year at this time I was scared, confused and not sure of what the next day or year would hold for me. Those emotions I still have today, but I live with hope. Cancer hasn't been a death sentence for me, but it has given me a purpose. I can now relate to a group of people that I could have never connected with and I have been given opportunities that I would have never had. In ways I am thankful for this era of my life. Thank you to everyone who has prayed and are still praying for me. I am so thankful for those who have surrounded me with love and encouragement.
