Christmas Day

May I wish all of my friends a very happy 25th day of December! Christmas day is just such a joyous occasion for so many people.

For me, however, it is another type of day as well. It is the first day of my rebirth although at the time I did not know about it at all!

Here is a posting that I made on Facebook exactly 2 years ago. I was feeling this ill but I really did not know how sick I truly was.

The reality that I did not know about was that I was not suffering a very bad cold but that I was now experiencing the illness that could result in my death about a week later. By now, you know what really happened to me, dear reader.

I believe now that I was not necessarily going to die but that I was given the opportunity to survive only if I chose to do so. Thankfully, my friends and family helped me at the time and the medical profession in Windsor did a marvelous job in treating me to deal with a disease that very few people in our area knew about at all. Staying alive was that difficult and hard a task that I was given and with which I had to deal for a considerable period of time afterwards.

I am now living my new life thanks to the wonderful assistance given to me by so many people. I have been working very, very hard to live again in the best condition that I can.

I do not know what my future is but I am sure that there are positive reasons why I am here. I intend to carry out my role as a father, husband, and friend, for as long as I am able.
