3 months!

Yes it has already been three months since my last chemo treatment. Time has flown by. I am so happy with my progress and all I am able to do. I take care of my family and have even started working again. Three months is nothing but my life has changed completely. In Nov. I was in a bad place I had completely lost myself in cancer. I was sick and drained. I debated about sharing this pic with everyone. I took it for myself so I would remember just how bad things really were and so I would never forget to be grateful for my health. But I want to share it with you, no make up no flower no smile just the sickness at it's worst.

Now three months later. I'm cancer free. I feel amazing. I'm happy and fulfilled again. I feel like I have my identity back as a wife and a mother. And I am also proud of who I am. I survived not always pretty as you can tell but I did it. I feel like I was real and honest. I was as strong as I could be. I'm proud three months later and I love who I am. And I love that my eyelashes are back! There worth having to shave my armpits for!

Hey Star!
I found your blog through my sitemeter. I was just about to comment on your cute side table re-do but I scrolled down a little further and saw the pictures in this post. My heart sank a little when I saw your first picture. You really are an inspiration. And I love that you look at the glass as half full, where the rest of us might see the glass as half empty with the water inside quickly evaporating. I giggled @ the arm pit shaving / eyelash growing comment. Keep up that awesome attitude : )
