Cancer Free Year 1

Today marks the day....
Current mood: thankful
I just want to express how grateful my family has been this past year. Today, September 18th, marks the one year anniversary for me to be cancer free. I will never forget all of the people that touched our lives that day and changed my life. We shed endless tears and had countless laughs through our journey and we could not be more blessed.
Everyday I look at my scar and at times it's hard to not criticize it and be hard on myself for having that on my body. I have learned that it's just a constant reminder of how blessed I really am. The Lord was my strength when I was weak and I know that he gave me my husband to walk on this path with me. He has also blessed me with two of the most beautiful girls that are loved very much.
My first visit back after my surgery to Md Anderson Cancer Center was amazing. My oncologist held Brylan and you could see the joy in everyone's eyes. We were looking, in life form, at a miracle. The best part is that she is all mine haha!!! I go back on November 15th and I have a good feeling that everything is going to be great!
Thanks for everyone's prayers through my journey and over the past year. We have truly felt them and it is amazing to have such great people in our lives to share this with.
