it’s an accomplishment to be alive.
My job is a continuous reminder of how precious life is. In a blink of an eye, things can change; life can begin, life can end. In the past year, I’ve seen so many families whose lives have changed with one diagnosis, with one event. This post is dedicated to all the families and parents who have had to live through it all. Those parents who are finding out that their child has a tumor or cancer. Those parents who suddenly found their child intubated, on 5 different monitors, and poles of IV pumps and drips. Props to you for keeping your child alive. For never settling for the provider who brushed off your concerns. For pursuing your gut feeling.
Be thankful you’ve reached this age because so many children die everyday and sometimes, it’s just the way life is. But no matter what, no life is ever wasted. Each person is here for a reason, no matter how long or how short they’re here for. Remember to thank your parents for keeping you alive. Remember to thank God for letting you live. Your life is precious. Remember that when you’re having a bad week, month, or year. It’s an accomplishment and a blessing to be alive.
