For me, I never thought I’d see my 20s. Because growing up, I was a very unhealthy overweight kid and teenager growing up. I had heard of people not making it to their young adult lives because of being plagued by numerous health issues, being overweight one of them.

    Every year I’m alive shocks me, I turn 40 in a few months.

    I was born with cystic fibrosis at a time people with CF didn’t make it to 18, I was “middle aged” at 6. Then at 28 I died, was given new lungs and I’m now a new creation. Every year I’m shocked to still be here. I know it’s borrowed time but I’ll take all I can get.
