Hi y’all! So it’s been awhile since I updated the blog on my life so I thought I would share with whoever still reads this (and I appreciate you!) where I have been. It’s been a lot but I can say I’m still very blessed!
In 2022 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I found out when I had some persistent abdominal pain and visited urgent care. It was discovered I had a large mass in my colon and a small nodule in my lung meaning the cancer has spread. Thankfully after 13 rounds of chemotherapy and 2 major surgeries all the cancer has been removed and I have been cancer free for almost 2 years in April. I am immensely grateful to be here with my family and loved ones and healthy again.
While rebuilding my life after cancer my relationship ended and I focused on myself. I lost weight, had fun with my friends and family & lived and enjoyed life again. I started dating again in October 2023 and in November I met the man that I would go on to marry. Yes I’m a (re)married woman now! Lol. My husband and I married in November of last year and it’s been great although something I’ve been getting used to because your girl was single for a long time!
And now 3 of the 4 several people (my children) are grown and we’ve added 2 bonus children (twins! My stepchildren) and my grandson who will be 1 year old in April. I am so grateful and happy to see my family grow!
So I share this update to let you know things can get better. With trust in God, and surrendering to His plan your life can do a complete 180. I am grateful for the hand He had on my life from leading me and blessing me to a great medical team to sending me a husband who truly loves and adores me & mine. Know that circumstances do not matter and are only temporary. It starts with you believing, keeping the faith and loving yourself. I know that sounds corny, I used to think so too but it really is the truth. Ask me how I know!
Love Ricki
