Let The “25th” *Cough Cough* Birthday Celebration Begin
Shortly after my birthday last year, I suffered a major medical emergency, which led to a necessary $22K (out-of-pocket) surgery.
The procedure was a life saver and I’m greatly indebted to all who supported it and me during that time and my post-surgery recovery.
Birthdays in recent years have been bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I’m grateful for this gift called life and the joy of feeling sunshine on my shoulders. On the other hand, there’s a sense of sadness at the realization that youth is quickly slipping further into the shadows and I have a myriad of dreams unfulfilled.
But as I reflect on those who’ve walked with me through this journey, so many of them now watching over me, I can’t help but be inspired to embrace my now fine old, er, young age.
To honor their memories, to cherish those who, like me, are still standing, and to make it my duty to live every moment the best I can. I mean, really live it. #Godisgood. I am #thankful.
