It Has All Been Worth It


Since I am on a chemo "delay" right now, it has really given me some time to sit back and reflect on everything that I have been through up to this point and to prepare myself for what is to come. I am battling cancer, yet right now I feel so blessed. The challenges, the obstacles, the disappointments, and the pain has all been worth it because I have a beautiful daughter. She has been here for just a week and I can't imagine life without her. I know now that all the decisions I made and all the decisions that I will make regarding this cancer will be for her. I know that I have to be around to see her walk and talk and grow up and get married and have children of her own. I know now that I will endure anything for her. If that means more surgeries, I am going to do it. If that means more chemo, I am going to do it. God has truly blessed me with this baby and I am not going to take that for granted.
