There’s something truly special about taking your long distance online chronic illness bestie to see your tree in singleton park 🌳🌸💖 I held my tree planting ceremony ten years ago. It was, basically, a funeral I got to attend (“why should you lot have all the fun without me?!” I said 😂). I wasn’t expected to survive a few years. I am acutely aware every time I see my tree just how lucky I am to still be alive a decade later. Taking Roo to see it was really special… it made me think about just how much I’d have missed out on if I’d died. There were so many days I nearly stopped fighting… I’m so glad I didn’t. Of course, sometimes I did stop fighting for a little bit, but I was blessed with people who fought for me ❤️ But yeah… here I am, ten years after we thought I’d be dead, with a best friend I never would have met, full of joy at my difficult, wonderful, painful, beautiful life. #grateful #gratefulforeverysingleday #palliativecarewarrior #hospicelife #stillhere https://www.instagram.com/p/CR_P2J8NpBs/?utm_medium=tumblr
