Last year, my birthday was the first day I was allowed to leave the rehab facility at Good Sam. I used a walker to get one block away to the nearest restaurant. I didn’t know how many more birthdays I’d be celebrating. My cancer treatments hadn’t started yet. It was a pretty tough day for me.
I’m happy to have made it to another birthday, to be able to celebrate with my family, and to be able to walk much more than a block this year (all around the happiest place on earth for 5 days).
Thank you all for the birthday wishes today. I am grateful for all of you.
