Important Weekend

I would like to note that this past weekend I celebrated my birthday. No, not my "bellybutton" birthday.... my "new life" birthday. March 1st 2005 was the day that my life changed forever and for the better. It was also the beginning of the two hardest weeks of my life. It signifies the day I decided I wanted to live and stop killing myself. Because of where I was at that point in time, I literally has to fight for my life. Each day was such a struggle but slowly the days got easier.

I know that I can easily end up right back where I was; dying. Every day I must continue the fight. I am so blessed that I have such amazing people in my life, including some people who at the time were awesome and supportive. It was an absolute amazing night to walk up in front of my support group and have about 30 people line up to hug me. Some of these people know me, others didn't. It didn't matter though because we all fight the same exact fight; the fight to live. The emotions I felt were overwhelming.

I will never forget those who were there for me, who continue to support me, and those that have fought this fight WITH me. I want to dedicate this song to my awesome support group, loving family, and my wonderful friends :) I can't thank you all enough for what you have given me!
