"Growing up I never knew my baby would grow up to be in so much pain" -MOM

Looking out into the clear ocean water, wondering where time had gone. I was never one for going to the beach, and lying on the rough sand, but anything to get peace and relaxation is heaven.

Breathing

Was I any good at it?

These past 22 years have been a whirlwind of emotions, obstacles, and many victories. But while I'm sitting here, I can't help but think of every detail and be so grateful & illuminate with shine over how beautiful everything turned out.
Pain and confusion were often an everyday thing, but that never stopped me from moving forward and anticipating always, "I wanna see what's on the other side of this.." If that perspective or attitude didn't dwell in me I don't know if I could write this to you right now.
I'd probably be on the streets. Homeless.

I'd probably be in jail

Or I'd be dead.

But one thing I know for sure, I know I wouldn't be here, a happily married woman, expecting our first child. Loving the life that I live and expecting great things for my family.

It would be impossible for you to understand my story without knowing who I was.
Not who I am now.
At least not yet.
I need you to know what mountains I had to climb, tears I had to shed, blood I had to draw to be who I am today.

This is my story.
