My Inspiration, My Strength

I never thought anyone could understand my condition and what I go through everyday. I didn’t think anyone could help me. But when I was at my most lonely and hopeless the stars aligned my path with someone who pulled me out.

We are twin mirrors of each other and when I met her I saw who I could become, that there was hope for the life I could live. I didn’t feel different, for once I felt completely understood.

I have learned so much about my condition, life and myself. She has shown me what true strength is and I will always look up to her - a personal trainer, an amazing person and the older sister I never had. She has made me stronger in all senses and I am so thankful for that gift.

I hope every one of you finds someone who will sit with you on the floor while you cry, who tells stories to get you through painful therapies, is there for you at any hour of the day and hugs like they are pouring all of their strength into you.

Finding someone who understands changes everything and the journey isn’t so lonely.
