Eight years ago my life changed in an instant. Today, I don’t just mark the years since my stroke—I celebrate the life I’ve lived because of the second chance I was given.
In these eight years I’ve gathered memories like treasures: spontaneous road trips, lazy café mornings, laughter echoing with friends, and travels that reminded me how wide and beautiful the world is.
Through it all, I’ve learned that every sunrise is a blessing and every ordinary day is a gift. I’m endlessly grateful to the Lord for carrying me through and for the love of my family and friends that surrounds me.
Here’s to more years of living and loving fully and cherishing the journey.
Beautiful post and celebration of this milestone of your journey indeed.
Wishing you good health always and more wonderful memories to celebrate!
Every year I feel more and more blessed. Thanks for the wonderful wishes Nes.
Oh wow Teresa that’s great to hear!!! Delighted to hear you’re so well.

Great philosophy Teresa and hope it remains this way 💕
I sure hope so too Ali. Life is short so we are never sure where tomorrow will take us. But what we can do is just hope and be positive. Take care Ali, how is hubby?
So much better thanks Teresa

I am wishing the same to you too. May we all take life more slowly and savour the simple things to the fullest.
