All These Things That I've Done...



I received my last injection in the middle of November. I'm not going to lie, it was very difficult, I was so ill, and was having a hard time recuperating...to where I felt semi normal! While reflecting this past month or so I've realized that it had been one of the most difficult injections for some reason.  Maybe, so I could see more clearly the sweet things in this life.  I relied a lot on others, especially my family. What a gift they are to me. I would not be here if not for them...
I also had a reason to celebrate this month, it was my birthday! This year my sweet family went all out for me. They got tickets for Andy and I to go to The Killers concert, with some of my siblings and cousins! We were thrilled! That night we went to dinner and were having so much fun. Such excitement in the air. I was so happy to be with them. We finally arrived at the concert and I can honestly say that I had the time of my life. We had the time of our lives! We danced, sang, jumped, screamed...we probably looked like crazy people, yet amiss all of the excitement I felt an overwhelming feeling of peace. This was where we were supposed to be at this moment. Sharing this experience with my family...I felt like God was telling me it was going to be alright...I was LIVING. I was HAPPY. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was. It was so nice to forget for the night that I was sick.  The song that was playing at the time was: "All These Things That I Have Done." Listen to it...feel the excitement...that is what it felt like that night! I heard this song the other day and teared up...I felt JOY, so many amazing memories. Such an amazing night, one that will never be forgotten, for many, many years.
