May the years ahead be kinder and richer than the ones behind us. May we grow into the people weโre meant to become and may that journey carry us to breathtaking places along the way.
I was born with sickle cell disease.
I had Crisis after crisis, constant pain, multiple organ damage by age 28. Doctors said I wouldnโt see 35.
During one brutal episode, I prayed like never before while hooked up to morphine. The pain vanished overnight.
Follow up tests showed my hemoglobin was normal. No sickle cells. Geneticists ran every test, markers for the disease had disappeared. I havenโt had a crisis in 4 years.
My hematologist calls me the walking miracle file.
You have to believe that there is God.
