So as per one of my Facebook friends, I am now well aware that exactly 15 years ago today I graduated from high school. Also on this day the Detroit red wings won the Stanley cup which I remember watching from our senior all night party! I can't believe it's really been 15 years already. So much has changed since then and I can't help but think of what the next 15 years will bring. I actually enjoyed high school, I had good friends and took trips with my show choir group. I have fond memories unlike most :-)
After high school I went straight to a local college and then a year later moved away to college at CMU. That's where I met my amazing husband to whom this blog was inspired by. We both were 2 semesters away from graduation when he was diagnosed with cancer. My dad was also diagnosed with the same form of cancer 2 months before brett was needless to say that was a rough year I quit school and moved back home to the Detroit area to be with him and my parent through their treatments. A year after that we moved BACK to Mt. Pleasant to try and finish school. Got one more semester out of the way and found out his cancer had already came back and he needed his first of two stem cell transplants. We moved home again and started the process. In late 2002 we got married <3. We always struggled financially and our lives seem to revolve around sickness but bottom line we had a great marriage and I wouldn't trade a second of it. In 2007 my dad passed away after receiving his own stem cell transplant. This was also the year I started working towards my nursing degree. In march of 2010 I lost my love :-( I started into the nursing program exactly 10 days after he passed away.
Sometimes it all seems like a blur. It's been a rough 15 years but there were some great memories and many blessings mixed in there.
