I was approached today by what I would say a very inspirational woman who has been on a brave journey and lived to tell the tale. And now Heather Von St. James is making a difference by spreading love and knowledge of mesothelioma – a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Here is the link of her story, mesothelioma.com/heather please take the time and watch as it certainly makes you appreciate what we have and to be thankful of.
But in making awareness she has created “30 Days of Thankfulness” where we acknowledge something in our life that we are thankful for every day throughout the month. And this month I am thankful that my dad is still here with us. Dad hasn't been well for awhile now and was diagnosed with something, that we were to soon find out it wasn't the case at all and that it was definitely his heart. My dad has given us a few scares over the years and a tough fighter but this time we would say was the closest. Turns out his heart is weak and has complications that over time drugs will hopefully make him feel better and rest is certainly on order. I would have to say a huge thank you to all the lovely nurses and doctors at the Brisbane hospital, where he was staying as the care and treatment that was given to him was fantastic, and dad certainly got to know them and the few other patients that came and went from the bed next to him. Its amazing how quickly doctors can put a stint in and the patient can go home the next day a new person. I think its incredible what medicine and technology today can do for us all and how lucky in today's modern society we are.
So yes I am thankful for family and love that binds us all together to make us stronger and happy. So don't forget to tell your loved ones you love them and to enjoy what we have.
Love Em
