It was just 3 years ago. I was living in pain. A lot of pain. I was miserable. I couldn’t sit, stand or sleep without excruciating pain. Luckily, I was a candidate for back surgery. That changed my life.
A few months later, suddenly, I lost my father. What? How? Why? You can never be prepared for that phone call. I will remember that day forever. That changed my life.
There I was, out of shape and 30 pounds heavier. Recouping from surgery. I couldn’t even climb a flight of stairs without being out of breath. And I was terribly sad from my sudden loss.
And then it hit me. It hit me really hard I had been given my life back with this surgery that took all my pain away. I had a new lease on life! It was MY job to make sure that I didn’t waste that I also felt like I owed it to my late father to be the best me I could possibly be. He was no longer here…BUT I WAS!
So this is where my journey begins. And whenever I hear this song by Rachel Platten, I want to scream it from the rooftops!
“THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG—TAKE BACK MY LIFE SONG!”
Love this!!!! Truly gives me hope….just had another surgery this summer, hopefully my LAST surgery! Now, I need to find the will power, deep down, to get healthy for me and my sweet baby and husband! I’m ready to finally give them 100%, like they deserve. Thanks for sharing 🙂
