Examples: I will always remember the morning of September 11, 2001. I remember what I was doing, where I was, and who told me about the terrorist attacks that morning. I will always remember what, where, and when I found out that my Great Grandma Doutre died.
Just like in those moments, I will never forget the moment on December 29, 2005 when I heard the words "you have cancer". In some ways it feels like yesterday but in alot of ways it feels like a lifetime ago. Time is funny that way. So around this time every year I tend to look over my life with gratitude. I thank God for the blessings of early detection and healing. But what is even more powerful when I look back at my life since then is the impact not just on my physical body but on my heart, spirit, mind, etc. I don't know if it's just through the natural maturity of just getting older or the way facing cancer changed the way I look at life but whatever it is I barely recognize myself from 5 years ago.
So to celebrate the 5 year mark I did a little photo shoot with Sharon. I don't really like taking pictures but I thought it might be fun to look back and then see me now.
