Resilience

I spent the last year watching my Mom go through the fight of her life and come out on top. I'm glad I got to document the journey but I am even more glad that she is healthy and in remission. "This life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air." -Sarah Kay
