I look at how life is so funny sometimes. I know that I suffer from this horrible pain but at the same time I am so ever thankful each day that I wake up in the morning with the pain. Someone last night went to sleep thinking tha they would wake but instead lost their life and didn't see the sun shine today. I have become a stronger person because of CH and I don't quite know if I would be this strong had I not had to deal with this over the past 5 years. I find that having CH makes me understand that I can't let the little things of the world get me down because I already have something that tries to keep me down 6 months out of the year.....CH. I can't let it get the best of me so during this six months I can only thank God for waking me up everyday, thank him for providing me with the things I need, I thank him for the strength to go through another 6 months but most of all even though I go through a difficult time I still am able to provide others with the understanding loving heart that I have despite what CH does to me. Once my cycles are over I truly live each day as though it were my last, enjoying each day to the fullest..........enjoying the life that God has allowed me to live for one more day. Thank you so much for that beautiful poem "The Butterfly".
God Bless
