Hello,
Today Mr. Stephens recommended that we write about a point in our lives where someone has been a very good friend to us. This phrase brings to my mind an experience that happened recently.
Last Spring I traveled to Philadelphia to have a tumor removed. In in the ninth grade I had been diagnosed with a rare type of tumor. The name of it in medical terms is- a benign, juvenile, angio-phibroma, that was located in my naso-pharynx. In normal english, I had a non-cancerous growth in the back of my sinuses that was made up primarily of blood vessels and tissue. That experience is a totally different story, but to make a long story short I had it removed. Then In my junior yearof highschool, the tumor reoccured even farther back in my sinuses. So once again I had to get it removed.
Well, To say the least I was frightened out of my wits that I had to go through all of it again. I tried to be strong, but for some reason it was harder than last time. I would often find myself worrying about the surgery.
Throughout of it My beloved girlfriend was there for me. She was right by my side when I needed a shoulder to cry on, or when I just needed to vent on how un-fair it all was. She stayed strong as I broke down and cried, like a child who had just lost evrything. She had so much courage in me and for me. She had so much faith in me and for me. She always held fast no matter what. When I left for Philedelphia her last words to me were,
"Alex, I love you and no matter what happens I will always love you. I have faith that the lord will take care of you and bring you back to me. I know you would never leave me, here on this earth alone. When you open your eyes after surgery I promise I will be right there, by your side holding your hand."
These words gave me the courage and strength to go thorugh the surgery without any second thoughts or fear. Now, because of school and what not she came about 2 days after I got out of surgery. After she came, she never left my side. Her mother had to tear her away from the recovery ward each night, because she didn't want to leave. She was so strong for me and so brave for me then that I will forever be in debt to her. I feel that I owe my life to her, becuase her kindness knew no bounderies. I love her with every fiber of my being and hope to one day marry her. This upcomming 22nd is our 1 year, 1 monthe, anniversary.
I love you butterfly forever and always. I will never leave you and will always wait for you. I hope you I have fun in China. And remember If something does happen, I will come for you. I'll walk, I'll run, I'll swim if I have to, but I promise I will not rest, I will search till the ends of the earth and back again as many times as it takes, until I find you again. I love you.
