“Saved by the Light” by Brenda-Lee (Bree) Troia
Manage episode 459817251 series 3595418
Excerpt from Brenda's story:
"In navigating through life’s turbulent waters, where uncertainty clouded my path, my girls were my beacons of light amid the storm. They guided me towards my purpose when I didn’t think I had one. Amanda and Caitlin will always be my every heartbeat, my every breath, my two reasons, my shining lights, my entire world.
Today, our team of three has grown and I am the luckiest mommy and mimi on this planet. My family is and always will be my beacon of love, hope, positivity, and light. My faith also helped me immensely. God’s power can make things that seem impossible possible. I am truly blessed.
The lesson? Persevere through the pain and swim toward victory over those things that stand against you. Life is a struggle. It is a continuing battle, and it takes perseverance to go the distance. As a result of my cancer journey, I am stronger than I was before. I’m not saying that I don’t worry about the cancer returning, but I am eternally thankful for each new day I am given. I realize every day is a gift. I try to follow the simple advice of my favorite Disney fish, Dory, “Just keep swimming!”
