A look back…….

…..and 1 year later, I’m still around. Weird to think thats what I looked like 1 year ago.

Admittedly, this is hard for me to write.

It was a year ago that the world came crashing down around me.
It was a year ago that I went under the knife for a biopsy.
It was a year ago that I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

I cant express how happy I am just to be alive. I literally wake up everday and think about how lucky I am.

I think about the day I originally went to the doctor.
I think about sitting at my buddy Al’s kitchen table that same day and crying
I think about that nasty bone marrow test and how much it hurt.
I think about that first chemo session.
I think about how much my girlfriend Meret loved me and stood by me even though I looked and felt like hell.
I think about the joy I felt after that second PET scan result.
I think about that time I couldnt breathe in July and had to go back to the hospital.

But most of all,

I think about all my family and friends and thank God everyday I have people like that in my life.

In the Book of my life, you all played a part.

Thank you and God Bless,
