Wow,

Can you believe it's already been a whole year?

Doesn't it seem like it was just yesterday when you were learning to eat again? And remember that first walk on surgery day? You looked up at the nurse, still a little loopy from the anesthesia and questioned whether she smoked crack on her lunch break because surely there was no way you were gonna be able to walk! 

But, you did it!  You made it through those first baby steps, and lived through that dang drain, and drank that horrible Unjury, and the Crystal light.

And one day a few weeks later, you  woke up and felt like Rolanda again.  You have discovered this DS thing is not so bad. You can bend, and twist, and jump, and dance, and all manner of things you never imagined.  Can you believe we went tubing last month? US? Former fat girls! And we walked all over Helen in the blazing sun and didn't have to sit down every 10 steps. And we rode the horses and didn't have a second thought about whether we'd be able to lift ourselves up onto the seat, or if we would weigh too much.

This past year has been a test of your physical and emotional endurance.  You discovered your body is more resilient than you ever estimated. You have learned that you can love someone, but still love yourself more because ultimately you are the most important person in your life.  You have learned you deserve happiness, and joy, and all the best life has to offer.

I am so blessed to have you as a friend and wls buddy. I am so proud of all you have accomplished. I can't wait to see what amazing things year 2 has in store for you.   I have a feeling it's gonna be AWESOME!

Congrats Rolanda!!! :-)

Thanks Maria. :)

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!  You look fabulous!!!

Happy belated 1 year to you too Denise. You look good too girl. I can't wait to see you. I probably won't even recognize you! 

You look like a totally different person. Just amazing!

Thanks Denise, and congrats to you. We could probably pass each other at the mall and not even know it. Lol. We should definitely catch up soon.

Thanks Lashelle.  I definately miss seeing everyone. Hope I can hang out next time.  I finally see the new me.. .and unfortunately so does everyone else....If I could write a book...it would be a BEST Seller

Awww, how sweet. I'm just now venturing over to the GA board, and what a nice surprise. Wow, I can't believe it's been a whole year. It's been truly amazing. I feel like I'm learning a whole new life that I never knew could exist. I'm so blessed to have found you and this group of folks who understand it all. The many adventures we get into are more than I had ever imagined. I knew I was missing out on a lot being big, and I'm glad that through this support structure I have really been able to see what life is meant to be

I don't know how I would have made it through without your support, and the support of everyone here. I look forward to year #2 and experiencing all the adventures that come our way.

Thanks so much for everything!


Love ya girlie,

Rolanda
