Even though I have lived my entire life with a chronic disease I have a life worth living. Growing up I was "the sick girl" or the "girl who can't do anything". I felt like I was nothing but a girl that was sick and going to die without anyone remembering anything else about me. I was tubes, pills, doctors, bills. I had a poor prognosis. I felt like a lab rat. I was depressed and scared all the time. I thought about dying all the time. I felt alone. That is all in the past.
I am more self confident than ever now. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister. I am a knitter, a scrap-booker, a bowler, a sports fan. I am strong and stubborn. I am happy, loving and spontaneous. I have won trophies and awards. I am in love and loved. I am beautiful and amazing. Everyday I amaze myself even if I never get out of my pj's. Although I am still sick, I am ALIVE and I have a life worth living.
You are a feisty person, and I am so glad we've "met" through the PH community! I can only hope one day we meet in person!! We have a lot in common since we know what it's like to live with this crappy disease for a long time. Keep on living your life to the fullest!! Love ya!! (((HUGS)))
