Default Huge

This is a very hard one for me.It is hard because I am very thankful for SO MANY HUGE things. I am thankful for being a fighter, getting this diagnosis after I went threw war, all my family threw thick and thin, all my speciality M.D.s, my ability to survive this condition, I am thankful for being able to do physical activities, I am thankful for getting my meds lowered today, and I am soooo thankful that today I achieved a self goal. I do not really know what small is anymore.
