Today is my "new" birthday. Feb 27, 2006 was my stem cell transplant. I read over entries for that month, and it was hard to read. I remember how sick and scared I was. And how I didn't want to give up.
No cake for me today, but here is one of my favorite two year olds enjoying some food.

I can do this. I'm two years old!!

I hope your mouth is healed soon :)
Happy Birthday to your Father. What a great man he must be.
Posted by: claire at February 27, 2008 07:13 AMWoohoo! Hard to believe it's been two years already (it probably seems a lot longer for you). Happy re-birthday!
Posted by: Sharkey at February 27, 2008 07:15 AMHappy birthday and BEAN FACE to you!!!
It seems like both yesterday and a million years ago. Next time you go to the hospital, you need to get your picture taken to be on that wall of post transplant people.
You are an inspiration to me. Hang in there because you are the best at hanging in there.

You can do this, you are doing this and you will continue to do this.
One day became another and you did that. One year has become another and you did that.
You will keep going. You are strong.
