This past week has taught me so much about living each day to the fullest. I have been following a blog for the for the past several months (since I started chemo) of a woman named Maggie who lived in Austin, TX. She had Stage IV colon cancer and was truly an inspiration. Her husband wrote about their "Great Cancer Adventure" and did an amazing job of doing so. I felt as though I had lost one of my dearest friends, when she passed away last Monday. Although we had never met, just hearing her story and struggles made me feel close to her. I know it sounds crazy but in some weird way, cancer unites. The day she passed away I could not help but think of all the things I had left to do in my life. I am so grateful for each day now, more so than I used to be.
I don't want to take one second of my life for granted, it's too short. Tonight was my last day of school for this semester. What a great feeling to have that behind me and know that I CAN DO IT! So, now only 3 more years to go :) No problem because in the end I will have such a great job doing what I've wanted to do my whole life.
Here is the link to Maggie's blog if you are interested :
