Happy New Year’s Eve to all my friends out there!!! Hope everyone has had a joyful holiday! In looking back at this year I have so much to be thankful for….. I am thankful for my parents for taking such good care of me and for Maria Jose staying with us for a year and continues to stay working with me. I am thankful for my health. Ever since my Nissen surgery I have made leaps and bounds. I am so thankful for the doctors who took such good care of me and believed in me. I am thankful for Conejo our neighbors horse that comes to see me each week and gives me many rides. I am thankful for my family and all my friends that love and support me. This truly has been our best year ever and we never take for granted not one single day that we were are here on this beautiful earth God made for us. I am thankful for spending Christmas at home with my family.
With a heavy heart I have lost friends. Just recently Brady 5 years old and Luise 4 years old passed away. They both had Lissencephaly like me. It is unfair that they had to go so soon. I feel sorry for their mom and dad and all their friends and family that are mourning their loss. They are with other Liss angels now. This is why I am so grateful for every day. Three years ago today I was in ICU and on an oscilating ventilator. I very easily could have slipped away. I was very very sick and my parents were very worried. I stayed in ICU for six weeks. Everyone had prepared my parents for the worse outcome. I made it. I am happy to be bringing in 2014. Let’s hope this year is just as good if not better than last. Without health we have nothing. Here is to a healthy and happy 2014. Fly high my angel friends, you are soaring now and playing and running with all the rest.
Love Malia
