Hey Readers! Welp, I made it! I’ve officially made it to my mid 30s! Y’all don’t understand what a blessing this is to me. Ever since I was a little girl, and understood what it meant to have Sickle Cell, I was told the lifespan of a person with SCD was early 30s. Thankfully as the years have gone by, that age range has become older and older, but to me I was just stuck on those early statistics that basically told me I would be dead by my early 30s. That’s just how my younger mind worked then. Also, with the way I was always sick, and having so many health problems due to my disease, it felt like that’s what it was going to be in my case. Thankfully as the years went by, I became more faithful in the Lord, and in His will. Even though that was the case, the thought was always in the back of my mind. The fact that I’m now officially in my mid 30s, 35 to be exact, is just amazing to me, and a blessing. I’ve been trying to get out of the mindset of thinking that my life will be over at such a young age, and I have been having a much better outlook on life lately. With that being said, please don’t think of this as something that made me super depressed or even sad. It’s just what it was for me. I felt like there was a high chance that I wouldn’t make it pass a certain age, since I was a child, and that’s just how it was. Okay, I just wanted to share my joy of making it to this amazing milestone in my life. I wish my daddy was here to celebrate with me, but I know he’s always with me spiritually. My guardian angel. Okay, bye guys!
