One Year

After all that I have been through this last year, you might think it would be easy to put down your thoughts and feelings in writing. But, it's not, so many events during this journey were blurs and I am actually thankful for that. Although this is true I still remember the hardest points. I remember the pain and the nausea. I remember the impatience and the missing out of special events. But the best part of all of this is that I am past it and it has made me stronger. I'm thankful for all the support I have received from friends and families all over. Your thoughts and prayers have made this journey easier. I am thankful for some of my closest friends who have been around since the beginning. I am thankful for my brother and sister and how they keep my spirits high daily especially Brennan and especially recently. I am extremely thankful for my youth minister Jake as he has not only helped me spiritually but emotionally as well. I want to thank all my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Finally, I am more than grateful that God blessed me with the amazing parents I have. My dad was a rock for not only me but the whole entire family.  My mom was my best friend and I spent more time with her at appointments then either of us would have liked. Through this suffering I have found that the best form of support I have received in the last year is simply spending time with loved ones.
