Day 216

#livingmybestlife

This is cancer. 

This is BRCA-1.

It isn't pink ribbons. It isn't sexy and glamorous. It's scars and pain and fear.   

This is what I did so I could live.

But when I look in the mirror I smile and rejoice.

Because of cancer, I will never again have to wonder about my why. I will never again question my right to be here when others can't.  I will never again doubt my courage, my strength, my determination, my resilience, my will to live and fight and win.

I am amazing and beautiful. I always have been and always will be. 

I am my heart, my mind, my voice, my laugh.  I am my children, my family, and my friends. 

It matters that I am here.

Today I celebrate me.

Happy Mother's Day to all of my favorite women. You are amazing. Don't ever doubt it.
