Oops all Star Ocean this week!

Couldn't stop thinking about it today, so we're doing more story

Congratulations!!! So excited!

Picture of Samewise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings on top and a quote below. The quote reads: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't.They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. ~Samwise Gamgee

“There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.” ⚔️

Me too! It was good to see you!

That he is!

Thank you!!! 🥳 This new lease on life just makes me think of this meme:

Hope you get to feeling better!

Thank you, friend! 🧡

Thank you!!! 🥳

Couldn't have done it without you! 🥰 I'm excited for more adventures!

Thank you! I'm glad to be free of it!

Thank you, friend! I've mentioned it a couple of times in passing in different places, but figured now that this chapter of my life is over, I might as well lay down all the cards, as I draw a new hand!

Thank you!!!

To everyone who supported me when I was sick, showed up when I was exhausted, and carried me when I didn’t have the strength, I wouldn’t be here without you.

Thank you for sitting with me in the hard moments. 💙

Relieved doesn’t even begin to cover it.

I can breathe. I can plan. I can live for more than just the next five minutes. I have my life back.

But now I’ve reached the final milestone.

Ten years cancer-free means I’m officially considered cured. It’s now incredibly unlikely to ever come back.

No more waiting. It’s done.

Every year meant scans.

Every swollen lymph node, every ache, every allergy flare came with the same quiet thought:

Is this it?

Graft vs. Host meant living in constant uncertainty.

Waiting to see if this new immune system would save me… or hurt me.

After that, life became one long question mark.
