Why Good Friday Will Always Be Great

Wow!  How can it be six years already?  

So much has changed these past few years.  I love that I only need to take 3 pills a day, compared to the 15!  I love that I've been able to share my story with the world and help others receive a correct diagnosis, like me.  And I LOVE that Steve and I were able to have a third child, our beautiful John.  So much has changed,  yet, the love and support from my family continues to grow.  I feel so much warmth in my heart as I reflect on this on such a holy weekend.  

Good Friday and Easter Sunday will never be the same for me again.  I never believed that a new medication would be the answer to my prayers. And I certainly never believed that I would be able to live a life of independence.  How lucky am I?!  I've had numerous people who have read my memoir reach out to me and say, "I will never look at Easter the same again."  

On this six year anniversary or should I say birthday, I will continue to give thanks for all that God has given me as well as how much Jesus sacrificed for me...for us.  May you feel a closeness to the Lord on this very special weekend.  Happy Easter!
