I turn to writing, speaking, and singing as a way of sorting through my feelings, but when you invaded my body--all the creative juices dried up. Thank you for showing up at the right time. You gave me a gift, and now I know what is really important. You tried to destroy every fiber in my being--my spirit, mind, and body--but you didn't win. You tried to dismantle my family, but we are still a circle of love and strength. You taught me every moment counts. Thank you. I no longer worry about stupid mundane things. Thank you. I don't try so hard to make everybody happy. Thank you. I only want to be happy and healthy. Thank you. I am wiser, better, and stronger. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Theda Okona
