I spent it with my feet in the sand, watching my children splash around in the ocean surf and enjoying a beautiful sunset with my family. There was no cards, no cake or a special dinner to mark this glorious day. There was no acknowledgment from anyone and that was ok with me. It's no one's celebration but my own. I quietly gave thanks for my health and reminded myself to be joyful and grateful for the beauty in everyday life.
This photo was taken on June 12, 2011 - my Cancerversay.
This is my little guy, my miracle baby. He survived and endured my cancer treatments with me. He is my constant reminder of how precious life is.
The difficulty of the journey sometimes turns out to be its blessing.
