Inspiration

It was September of 2016. I had just had my son one month prior. I had also had another cycle of severe grand Mal seizures and things that I couldn't remember doing to myself or placing the plunger in the bird bath and the laundry in the oven with dinner being left in the pillow cases. I had gone to see my doctor who did a full brain scan and found the tumor. A (malignant) glioblastoma brain tumor. The doctors had told me to get it removed at that time or risk a life time of newer issues that could pertain to death. I had refused. Later I learned I had cancer. Well we decided for my first bucket list item we would climb this mountain and in doing so we would reach the top no matter how many days how long the walks were how many stops I had to take. It took me 3 Days to reach the angle I was when I took this picture. I had stopped. Cried and told my sons father and my best friend I couldn't go any further that they should go on ahead and let me stay and not to worry. They then told me the whole reason for this journey was to show me that no matter how far the cancer is to spread no matter how much time is being given I would make it to the top And I wouldn't do it alone. So I looked around and closed my eyes and when I opened them I was facing this. My journey had just begun and I was not about to let it end.
