Happy birthday Alex!!! This is what I hear on what I guess you could call my birthday. Only I wasn't very happy seeing as I was in a hospital doing my chemo. My birthday went like any other day. I woke up, ate, and then off to some hospital to do who knows how many treatments. They said I had a one in a million chance to live past the age of three, but I'm eighteen now. My parents actually like to call me their one in a million child, but I think their just over exaggerating.

At dinner my mom and dad we're talking about a trip they had been planning for months to Australia. I honestly didn't want to go but they said I had no choice. Since my cancer isn't so bad anymore we didn't need permission from my thousands of doctors. Mom said we leave on Monday. I think the only good thing about it is that I get to see my best friend-cousin Peyton .Since I was one, Peyton and I did almost everything together. She was my partner in crime. When I was 10 her family went bankrupt and they had to move to Australia. We have been texting and face timing ever since.

Soon Monday came and then me, my brother Connor, my mom, and my dad we're on our way to Australia. It was the longest flight of my life.i had to sit between an old man who likes to sing about his feet problems and my brother who snores like a pig. We finally arrived and there she was Peyton waiting for me to come hug her.

"Oh my god, I can't believe your here!!! I missed you so much lex." She yelled over the plane sounds.

All I could do was laugh and say "I missed you too."

Gasp " you are so much prettier now than ever. Ahh we have so much to do. COME ON!!"

She yanked me and I almost fell to the ground.
