How do you measure time?
Too fast
Too slow
Expectant

February 1st was my
7.5 years in remission
From the incurable, untreatable, deadly disease
That nearly took my life that exact time ago

Of course I'm grateful, blessed
But I'm not out of the woods
As I have setback after setback
And not just with it as a reminder
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME
Is sadly not my only problem

But for just a little while on that day
I remembered that I was indeed a miracle
Despite it all
Still alive
Even though in suspended animation
For the time being

Doesn't mean I don't have goals, dreams
For 2023; they keep me alive
Along with my family and invaluable friends
Without whose international prayer chain
And the grace of HaShem almighty
As well as my spirit guides & angels
I wouldn't be here writing this

Looking forward to August 1st,
My 2nd Birthday or Rebirthday, and 8 years!
Thank you all,
I'd be lost without very many of you.
So come join me, in 6 months for yet
Another milestone!
