Did you ever wonder what life would be like if something very intricate had never happened. I sometimes ponder on this but not too long. For me, what if I never became sick as a child???? What would my childhood have been like? My teen years? Would I have been athletic? Would I have moved to New York to pursue fashion, modeling, or even nursing? What if I did not have to spend months at a time in the hospital? Would my friends have been the same? Boyfriends? Or even my husband? Wow, a big mouthful of if’s!
For me and for everyone out there who thinks about this from time to time, I have some words of wisdom. I truly believe that everything that happened me to was suppose to happen. It was the path chosen for me. Of course we do not know why we would be chosen to suffer and go through all those horrible things, especially as a child, but I have accepted it as being the reason I am who I am and was molded into this person because of it. I can feel empathy for people, especially children since I have walked that mile in their shoes. I want the world to be a better place and work toward it each day and focus on doing just that. When asked if there is anything I would change, my answer is no. Ok, maybe I would change the pain, but I am the person I am because of it. Giving back is in my blood, helping others to adjust is what I do. So with all of that said, “What If” has been answered. There is no what if.
