My 12th year stroke anniversary is coming up in two days. My nightmare of delivering premature baby & loosing her day later & then suffering stroke day later of that will be tomorrow. I have come so far from my those initial years when I thought I would never find joy in living again, & will never be happy again. Who would have imagined after being on this post stroke journey I strongly feel there are no accidents in life. I was meant to go through so much darkness so that today I enjoy & appreciate light all around me. My life is so much more meaningful today. Today I thank that our little angel who came in our life for a day & made sure to get her brother & dad their mom & wife back. For last few years we have started celebrating my stroke anniversary as our valentine date so I have stopped dreading over it, instead I started looking forward to it. Last year we had gone for broadway show in NYC which was all planned by me. this year hubby took over & we are going for another broadway show. I can see how far I have come so far in my recovery physically & emotionally. Now I am feeling more confident about my financial decisions I make for our family. I m so happy that taking those financial courses were key in making me feel confident about that aspect of our life. I feel less dependent on hubby or any one for making those financial decisions. We have plans of going to temple with my whole family & do prayer service for birth of our daughter this weekend.
