I was looking through my pictures trying to find one that represented what I wanted to say tonight. I have a lot of emotions and thoughts running through me, most that I don’t actually understand. Probably they are related to fear; that nasty negative emotion that can stop you dead in your tracks.
As I was going through them, pictures of all those so close to me flashed by, making me feel a little less stressed, and a lot of love. It’s odd to be sitting alone yet feel love surrounding me. I think I am finally more… more sure, more peaceful, more happy, more accepting, more alive.
Two years ago on this day I lost my breast. It was the beginning. Tomorrow I will have the other removed, along with reconstruction of both. I will no longer be a one boob wonder. It will take time, and it will be painful, but it’s what I need to do.
It won’t change what I know now though. And what I know is that you can be strong alone, but you are a million times stronger when you are surrounded by love 💕
Your story is inspiring in so many ways – teaching us to keep fighting, keep believing, keep loving. Your determination to get better will be rewarded in due time, and we will be with you along your road to full recovery. I will pray for you!
