It's True. The good stuff, i feel it...
I'm out of the hospital, and I have YET to stop smiling. It's only been 24 hours since I've been let out of those white walls. And I just can't tell you how much more you appreciate the little things again.
When I was first re-diagnosed. I felt like I had this appreciation. Small crunch of a boot in the snow, perfect clear sky. The ability to see your breath in the air. And now as Winter, has finally fallen ill behind us, Spring has definitely sprung, and there are a bunch of other small things you get to appreciate during this season. Even missing an enitre month of the outside world in the hospital. The things I missed weren't just my friends and family.
It's the air. the perfect sun. The spring day, as cliche as you want to make it sound. The greenery. God, the baseball season. Smelling the scents of fresh cut grass, hearing kids getting ready for summer and their thrilling smiles and laughter. It's just... it's too much, after you've been in the hospital for so long. But, its in my veins. All of it. The good stuff. And I'm eating it up.
Today, I realized, I have to take things very, very slowly. All the more time to smell the good things and feel that spring air right? right.
Hope you are all so well. And that spring has brought you as many smiles, as it brings to me and my family. We are all very 'bright' would be a good word to use, these last few hours.
All my Love,
Post SCT,
