Celebration Day

Today I get to celebrate

After many months of Radiation

And Chemo too;

This journey has been a long

One from feeling sunburned to the flu.

There have been a few changes to my body now

As in my weight and lack of hair

But none of that matters now

From all that I’ve had to bear;

Because I have come out stronger

Than I ever thought I could be,

Making me happier than I ever thought I’d see.

This journey has taught me lots

And brought me many blessings along the way,

Meeting people that I would have never crossed paths with,

 That are still friends with me today.

As I sat in the hospital having my one last final treatment;

My excitement was mixed with sudden sadness

Of saying goodbye;

I actually surprised myself by actually starting to cry.

But maybe it was due to the fact

That my hubby just happened to also drop by;

He surprised me with pink roses

 With a huge smile saying, “hi.”

He had been hard at work, as he was such a busy guy.

I had no idea he was coming,

So when I saw him with the flowers

Tears couldn’t help but roll down from my eyes.

He then watched as the nurses handed me the gavel,

It was bitter-sweet in ringing that bell

That sound was so LOUD

It made me look around the faces of the crowd,

Everyone was so happy smiling back at me

And I realized what this actually meant, I was finally free!!!
