Be Grateful and Stay Strong

I've always been a happy girl and enjoyed life... until January 5, 2013.

I was so close of dying in the ER. My appendix had exploded and toxins had spread all over my body. I had surgery the next day to remove the toxins. Weeks later I had to undergo another surgery, to remove the appendix. It was a hard time, and I didn't think I was going to make it. When the results of the second surgery came in, they diagnosed a cancer in my appendix. I broke down into tears and officially thought "my life is over, I'm done," but no, things got better and now I'm happy, healthy, and value the small things in life. I'm very grateful I didn't leave my family, we all stayed strong. Reevaluate everything and be grateful for what you have, stay strong.
