Today, I live! 48 years strong! I am so blessed to be here to share my story! Birthdays were always important to me because it celebrated me and the day I came to be in the flesh with my earthly body. I was born on March 7th in the year of 1971, on a Sunday morning, in the Bronx, New York. The story of my life yet to be written, could tell of all the trials and tribulations, all of the disappointments and strife, everything that pained me to the core. It could also tell of the triumphs and victories, the fun and the hope, the strength and the faith.
In March of 2017, I celebrated my first birthday I ever thought would be my last! It was a pessimistic way of thinking, but there I was, stage II breast cancer, chemotherapy, lumpectomy and radiation to come, and on top of that newly discovered Lynch Syndrome. I stayed positive but the reality of it all made me reflect and think about the meaning of this day.
I am so blessed in my life and so happy to have a platform to share hope and life. I thank God each morning he allows me to live and each night he allows me to rest with my family. My birthday is a day of thanksgiving and a reminder that the day I saw as my last, is again the day I remembered as a child. A day for me, a day to celebrate life and a day to ensure others see the grace that God has shown me.
