I am blessed with the greatest support system. I am so loved and cared for by my family, friends, medical staff at Spectrum Health, people I had never met and God.

My family is the heart of my life. My friends are my lifeline of happiness. The medical staff, too numerous to mention, have been my care givers for keeping me alive. People I don’t know tell me they pray for me at church. This melts my heart. God is my guiding light. I talk to him often. I know he will take me when he’s ready. I will be reluctantly ready when it’s time.
