September is here! Most people get sad when summer is over. For me, I’m so glad it’s ending. I can honestly say this summer has been one of the best summers of my life. Imagine not having to worry about work or school. Being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want. The weather is beautiful, it stays light out longer and I can actually be out in the sun. Much different from last year that’s for sure. This lifestyle although most people would die for, it does get boring. September is my favourite month for a number of reasons. I’m celebrating my 25th Birthday on the 22nd with my twin sister (Que the quarter life crisis). September is also blood cancer awareness month, Leukemia awareness month to be exact. I will be starting school which means I will no longer be just a “stay at home daughter” as I’ve been referring to myself.
Where I live there is a huge wine festival that happens every year. I can’t think of a better way to spend my Birthday than with my closest girlfriends, enjoying some wine. Anyone who knows me knows that, “If there isn’t any wine in heaven, then I’m not going.”
I’m doing fantastic lately. When I go to see my Hematologist every month, he is in shock at how well I’m recovering. The nurses who took care of me all last year don’t even recognize me, in a good way of course. It’s flattering but at the same time it makes me wonder. What is suppose to be happening to me right now. Of course I’m doing great, of course I’m recovering with no major issues. My stem cell transplant saved my life.
