So last week i got news that my best friend of 28 years has CANCER, i use caps on that because it was something i was not ready to hear or accept! Not that anyone would be, however not even 40 years old i was completely numb by the news and not ready to think that such a terrible disease could be taking over my friends body! Not only was i terrified for my friend and what her and her husband must be going through but it also made me think, hey this could be me" and that just added more terror!
For so many years i lived a very carefree life, smoking cigarettes, drinking whatever cocktail was trendy at the time and usually in excess! I started to wonder how much damage have i done to my body! During those party times i never really cared or maybe i did i just didn't think about those things, well now becoming a mom and having so much more to live for i am extremely concerned! I mean my son is only 5 years old, if something were to happen to me i am not sure that he would even remember how much his mommy loved him or how much joy he has brought into my life! Of course he would still have his dad and extended family but lets face it no one takes care of him as good as Mom does!!! So with this huge WAKE UP CALL i scheduled my annual check up with ALL the doctors, threw out the Marlboro lights and promised to start maintain a much healthier diet! I know this is going to be a tough change but i also know that it is for the very best reasons one could have, MY CHILD!!!
WISH ME LUCK!!
