Bare with me; this is my first blog....I woke this morning with severe pain in my hands and arms. Now, keep in mind, I'm used to pain. I mean after all, I'm a former D-1 student athlete and have a very high tolerance for pain. BUT, today, for some reason, it was quite unbearable today. I'm not one to complain either, so for me to even blog about this says a whole lot. I was dx with SLE in 1988 and played through college and survived the birth of my one and only blessing in my son, Patryck! He's my reason for living and making certain I take care of myself. Soooo, all that to say....tonight I had to take my Lyrica, which I prefer not to take unless it's absolutely necessary. My team of doctors trust me to manage my medicine cabinet and I thoroughly appreciate that. Trust is important in all facets of life; parents-child; teacher-student; coach-player; doctor-patient; employer-employee...you name it TRUST must be a part of the equation. With that, I encourage all to make sure TRUST in your life. In GOD we trust!

Stella, you are a fantastic, wonderful, loving and giving young Mother. I am so proud of you and all you represent on every level. There is so much strength in your humility. When I reflect on all you've been thru and how you've walked that journey, I thank God for you and giving you the strength, mind and spirit to conquer every challenge life has presented you. Not once did you complain. I know the pain alone for most people would have made most give up. You live your sermon daily and it has influenced so many to hang in, hold on and overcome victoriously. You have always presented yourself with an upbeat and winning, smiling presence. In 2004 you endured 9 (NINE)surgeries, each one individually life threatening. Watching you survive all of that taught me so much. I could never repay you for the invaluable lessons I've learned during those times. You journeyed with such grace and unwaivering faith that each of your caregivers told me that they were blessed to take care of you. Most people would just do their jobs, but you inspired them to feel good about what they did and who they were. You made each of them feel special and appreciated. You demonstrated Dignity, Class and Unwaivering Faith every time. I love and admire you and am so proud to have you as my daughter, my friend. Your Mother.
