Why I Fight So Hard

Today is my birthday. I am thrilled to have my mom with us today. It is a bittersweet as I do wonder how many more birthdays I have left.

Every morning when I feel like climbing back into bed, I get dressed and head out to rehab or the garden. I fight to stay active. I take all my medications properly, I see other doctors for other issues, I eat a funny diet, and I do what I can to stay well.

Why?

What drives me each and every day is my son. I want to see every moment of his life that I can. I want to be at his wedding. I want to hold my grandchildren.

He is what drives me to fight so hard to stay alive.
