Cabin Fever

This time of year is almost always my least favorite. Basically all I want to do is stand outside, I don't even need an activity, just the sun's warmth on my skin. These next couple months will be long ones. My legs are feeling claustrophobic. That is all.

1 year ago today..

Nick was diagnosed with leukemia. I remember like it was yesterday standing in the break room at work reading the text from Michael. I couldn't breathe, my heart hurt. I left work early, drove to Ryan's, and cried on his bed. It was a life-changing moment for all of us. Nick has come so far from that point, yet he still has far to go on the road to a full recovery. He's taught me so much: to make the most of my time, to never take anything for granted, and most importantly to see the good side of any situation. I don't have much else to say, except that I thank God for letting me keep one of my best friends longer; and I pray He never lets me forget what I've learned from this experience.
