Flaring Through Life

Chronic illness sometimes involves watching life pass you by. It’s missing out on special events and once in a lifetime milestones. Sometimes, it hits like grief. It’s grieving a life you could have. It’s heart wrenching and soul destroying but sometimes there’s moments like this one, where after weeks of struggling extremely badly with health and missing out on so much, you catch a glimmer of hope. A moment where life stops for a little while and hands you a break; where you get to go out and watch your 16 year old daughter play Belle in Beauty and The Beast. No wheelchair needed, walking aids in bag (just in case) and a quiet celebration that you made it and made it through. No grief today, just pure pride and so much love 🫶🏻
