My Story

Dear Diary,
I use to keep a diary as a kid.
It kept all my deepest secrets like who i had a crush on, what friends i was mad at, why i hated my parents you know typical kid secrets. I loved looking back years later at my diary, only to realize i didn't have it so bad. I grew up with a great life, typical family of four; father went to work, mother stayed home with my brother and i. Lived in a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house had a cat named max; it was just your typical life.


Life changed fast in 2004 when my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer. But life didn't stop, she endured radiation, chemo and surgery within that year. Looking back it was one big blur. She got through it and went into remission. We all thought it was over. It wasn't. 2008 it came back and this time it had spread to her lungs. It was slow growing and stuburn. She went though so much chemo, trial drugs but nothing worked. Late 2010 we knew there was little hope, it was going to win. February 19th 2011 she took her last breath and was finally free of pain. 


The next few days after she died i wasn't sure how i was going to make it. I was a mess, she was my best freind, my Frimmy.  But life went on. Fast forward a month and I met a boy. There was something about him that made my heart race, feel myself & let go of my past and be a open book.
It's now been almost 15 months and he is the one, well I just need the ring but that will follow.
Last but not least let's throw a kidney transplant in there. Oct. 2011 my brother gave my dad his kidney. My Dad's kidney had slowly been declining to the point where he needed a new kidney to live.
That in a nut shell has been my life for the last year and a half. It has been the worst and the best year/s of my life.
