I call today August 17th my rebirth day. Its been seven years - TopicsExpress

I call today August 17th my rebirth day. Its been seven years since I had open heart surgery to replace a valve. Its yet another day when I feel grateful at having been given a second chance at life. My heart condition is hereditary my father died at 54 from the same condition I have, or had. And an older brother of mine died 2 years after my surgery at the age of 52.. I guess I was lucky, but I see it as more than that. Although Im not a religious person, I see it as a blessing. Ive learned to take my life more seriously, in the sense that I dont take people, places or things for granted. Life really is too short to hold grudges and to engage in pettiness. Ive learned to embrace those who bring light to my life, and reject those who darken my spirit. I have learned to speak up, to let my voice be heard. To make a difference if possible. To listen, to see and to hear other voices, opinions, and views. Physically and mentally I will never be perfect. There will always be a scar on my chest. Yet I do my best to exercise, and learn something new everyday. I will never consider myself broken. If anything I consider myself stronger than I have ever been before. I will not sit down and be quiet for anyone. I will not be bullied, nor lied to. I can say with all honesty that I have been through hell and back. And I so enjoy being back. No one knows how much time we have on this planet. All I can say is, enjoy it, and embrace it. Not everyone will be as lucky as Ive been to get a second chance. To be able to call my daughter and my siblings today and tell to make an appointment for their physical. To write my nephews and tell them the same. And to tell my story to my friends and family on Facebook. if I can reach just one person. Help save just one life. It would be a beautiful thing. In seven years I have seen so much. So many things both good and bad, ugly and beautiful.. That in a nutshell is life... I would have missed all that. I am glad to be alive.. I choose life. Thank you dear friends for reading this and putting up with me.. Cheers xxdg
