| Today my sweet daughter Eugenie turned sweet 16!
I know in a lot of cultures, this is a really big birthday.
I also know that for some people, birthdays and celebrations are big deals. Yet, for others, it's just another day.
Whatever you believe, I want you to consider for a moment...
What if you weren't here to be able to celebrate a special moment? Or even just an ordinary day?
These days are special for me today, now that I have a different perspective on life.
Yes, there was a time when I just went about my days. I took them for granted.
Some moments we celebrated, and others we just shrugged off.
But no more...
Every day is a precious gift.
Every day is a treasure.
Every day deserves to be celebrated.
Why?
Because in a moment, it could all be gone.
I had my eyes opened when I was given 6 months to live.
I vowed, that when I beat cancer, I would never take another day for granted ever again.
Today we celebrate. And you should too...
Love, Barbara.
