But we kept going.
Because hope is a strange thing.
Even when everything feels broken, it whispers, “Try one more time.”
Tomorrow is not just another day.
Tomorrow is the result of years of waiting. Years of fear, pain, and quiet prayers. Countless doctor visits. Endless nights of uncertainty. Moments when we almost gave up—but didn’t.
This surgery… it is not just a procedure.
It is a chance.
A chance to breathe better.
A chance to feel lighter.
A chance to live without pain controlling every moment.
Maybe even… a chance to feel normal again.
I am scared. I won’t lie.
The idea of going into that room, of closing my eyes and not knowing what will happen—it makes my heart beat fast. What if something goes wrong? What if I don’t wake up the same?
But then I think about everything I have already survived.
