Something I take for granted sometimes is health. In about three weeks I will be visiting St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital In Memphis, TN. I will be participating in some testings I occasionally get to do for cancer survivors. When I was nine I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I rarely talk about this aspect of my life not because of any specific reason, I just don’t think about it much. I’m grateful for the experiences I had at St. Jude’s, it gave me a deeper appreciation for life and it is a miraculous place. Sometimes I can be down about something not going my way, and then I can remember that I’ve survived cancer and I see that I’m not doing too bad after all. Life is big, and beautiful, and so are you. Cherish it. Love it. Accept yourself, because you’re amazing.
