I'm Alive!!

He first had cancer at the age of 26 and it came back in 2002. Despite fighting valiantly for the sake of his family, 3 years ago on 13th March, my dad had a stroke and was admitted into hospital. He was in there for 3 weeks before he passed away in his sleep on 5th April 2006. He was and still is the bravest man I know. The amount of suffering he endured over the years is a testament to the great man he was. I still miss him everyday. This is one of the few family photos we took where all of us are in it. That was more than 5 years ago...



If it wasnt for how strong my father was facing his battle with cancer, there is no way I would have been as strong for myself when I was diagnosed in 2003. So to all of you out there who know or have been affected directly or indirectly by cancer, its time to stand up to it....dont let it get the better of you.



After 15 years, I've now gone back to yoga, feeling much better than I have in a while...am contributing to charity through the hobby of baking cupcakes...am trying to see as much of the world as I possibly can despite such obstacles as money and leave....hopefully will start a family soon....there is a lot more to life, its up to you to make the most of it.

6 years on after my operation, I'm still learning, I'm still trying
