Today 2 years ago today I got the worst news ever. Mr. Davis, you have CANCER..... No way Doc...... What I thought was the worse news turned out to be the best thing ever. See back then I had an unhealthy lifestyle. I was far away from God. And I was living my life in all the wrong ways. My wife and I struggled for about 15 minutes with the news then decided that I was not going to die and I was about to kick Cancers butt. There were times when I thought it was over. There was one time that I am totally convinced I was breaths away from death. Woke up packed on ice after battling a high heart rate, high fever, and very low blood pressure. Some crazy things happened that night. Then there were good times, fun times, times when I knew I was crushing this disease that tried to stop me in my tracks. All in all it has been a roller coaster through this process. From wondering if you are gonna see your babys first birthday to knowing that there is a perfect match out there for you for your bone marrow transplant. Hannah B. Loring if it wasnt for you I dont know if I would be here today writing this. The gift you gave is so selfless and priceless to me and my family. You will always be my HERO. For those of you that do not know Hannah is my bone marrow donor. She did what most people would not do. She went through a painful process to make sure someone she did not even know had a chance to live. She did not know my story, my family life, or anything about me. She did this out of the kindness of her soul. So as I sit here today 2 years later writing this I look back on where I was and see where I am now and know 100% that God gave me that disease for a reason. He let me beat it for a reason. And he gives me life everyday for a reason. To show everyone that cancer is not a life ending disease unless you make it. Stay strong stay positive and have FAITH and you will crush it. Life has its ups and downs. We all battle them big and small. NEVER give up. Thanks to everyone who has been by my side prayed for me and helped me out along the way. I could not have done it with out all of you. I have to give a very very huge thanks to my wife Jessica Econopouly Davis who was by my side every waking moment of this. Even with a 5 week old baby when I was diagnosed she was there for everything giving the ultimate sacrifice and being away from her baby girl to make sure I was well taken of. Losing all of those precious moments most moms get to experience. Jessica I will never be able to repay you for those sacrifices. Today I sit here at my favorite place The Gym. This is where I go to get lost in thought, push my limits, and remind myself that I am one day closer to greatness. So how am I going to celebrate my 2 years of kicking cancers butt? With an epic LEG DAY. About to kill this workout. Remember when you think your life is bad someone always has it a lot worse and you could be in a lot worse situation. So be positive, stay focused, and always look above for guidance and direction. This will beat any struggles you may have right now. Have a great Saturday.
