5 years

2/15/2021 - Five years ago, the word cancer changed everything.

There were appointments, unknowns, long days, longer nights… and more prayers than I can count. There were moments of fear, but even more moments of faith. And through it all, there were these women — my people — who showed up, stood beside me, laughed with me, cried with me, and refused to let me walk it alone. 🤍

Today marks 5 years and I am cancer-free.

Five years of perspective.

Five years of gratitude.

Five years of realizing how precious — and fragile — this life truly is, especially since losing someone in this photo who didn’t know what they were fighting at the time.

I don’t take a single day for granted. The ordinary moments feel extraordinary. The laughter is a little louder. The gratitude runs deeper.

If you’re in the middle of a battle right now, please know this: there is hope. Keep fighting. Keep believing. Keep leaning on God and the people who love you.

And to everyone who prayed, checked in, sat with me, and lifted me up — thank you will never be enough.

Here’s to health, to friendship, to resilience… and to celebrating every single year we’re given. 💕
