6th Year

Today is Tanabata and also my transplant day. 6 years had passed and here I am healthy with a son and doing my PhD. My mom referred to this day as my second birthday. It is true in a way. We are so occupied with our lifestyles, we often stop to ponder about the little details. The little details that make you realize what a miracle life you are living. Little reminders like this are so refreshing, they let you re-look your life at a different angle; help you to be courageous and remind you of what you are capable of. It is much needed at this stressful time to finish up my PhD work. I wonder what I will be doing next year on this day. Here's hoping to more beautiful Tanabata(s) with my more important family.
