I would like to return some gifts I received this year.
The first is my lack of hair. I'm done with the baldy look.
Second, you can have my numb fingers and toes. It makes it hard to do anything.
Third, you can have my lack of hunger and taste buds. It would be really nice if food taste good again.
Fourth, please take the pain in my stomach and the diarrhea that goes with it.
Fifth, please put the warmth and color back into my skin.
Sixth, please help me to lift my feet so I can run with my friends.
Seventh, the tumor and cancer in my body...totally done with that.
Eighth, You can have all the trips to the hospital, transfusions, antibiotic and chemo they give me. I'm totally done with that too.
Ninth, not loving the Neupogen shots I have to get every night. I know they help, but if you're taking the rest of the stuff, you can totally have the Neupogen.
Tenth, all the bills...you can have those too.
This year, I just want to be healthy, like I was on my last birthday. I would rather my mom hassle me about getting a job, rather than getting my shot. (Oh ya, and a girlfriend!)
The gifts I want to keep are my friends and family who love and care for me, my neighbors to bring me treats, all those who pray for me. Then there are the strangers and anonymous angels who give without even knowing me or my family. Those people are most awesome! There were a lot of friends and family who sacrificed time and means to make things a little easier for me and my family...again, a big dose of awesome from them!
Thanks,
Your friend,
Jake
