Kathryn's Pages

Five years ago today, a very simple accident became the most complex story I’ve ever had to tell. I am not bitter on this day, because I know that without this struggle I could not have become the person I am proud to be. And I ask the same of all of you, as no amount of anger, bitterness, or sadness can ease my hardships. As I near the upcoming treatment, I become more resolute because I fear completely forgetting normalcy, and that is not an option. We all must remember with daily struggles how lucky we are to have what we do, to be able to attend school, to be able to lift your head off your pillow in the morning… there is something to be thankful for. And remembering these blessings is truly how we as human beings triumph over the adversity in our lives. I know that an attitude of thankfulness has carried me and my family through these past five years. So today I ask that, instead of feeling mournful of a painless life I do not remember, that we look at our lives and feel a sense of pride in the hardships we have conquered. Thank you all so much for your continued support and prayers; your care reminds me daily of why I am here.
