Hi 👋🏼 It’s me. I’m home. I’m home, recovering. I’m processing and unpacking the last seven months. I’m one of those people that pack the night before and unpack months later so forgive me if I’m slow to update, slow to respond, slow to process. There’s a lot to unpack and I’m only just getting started.
I’m apart of an amazing mom group at my church. We meet once a week October to May. I was only able to attend a handful of meetings this year given the circumstances. Two of which, were the first and last meetings of the year. At our first meeting, we wrote letters to our future selves.
Today, we opened our letters. I wanted to share it with you because while although short, sweet and somewhat vague, this letter has me feeling all the feels. Opening it kind of felt like a full circle moment. I truly believe that God was with me when I wrote it and preparing me for the biggest fight of my life without me even knowing it. He’d been preparing me all along; every trial, every unanswered prayer, every tough day prior. I wrote this letter on October 2nd. Unexpectedly, fifteen days later I was diagnosed with aggressive high risk leukemia.
I’m happy to report that seven months later, I’m home, I’m recovering, I’m still bald, but I’m doing well all things considered. I have my family, my faith and everything I’ve prayed so hard for. I felt well enough to take all 3 kids out of the house today on my own, 2 of which did in fact put up a fight going to childcare but like I said, it’s ok! Everything is ok. I needed that reminder. I’m still a good mom. I’m still me. I’ve never been more grateful for God’s goodness.
Thank you for being here, for helping me unpack.
