Dear Mark of yesteryear,
In your life, you will have much to fear. The Loss of your Grandfather you hold so dear. Your health will not last past your fourteen year. In your time there will be much cheer, success academic and socially. You will not have smooth sailing this is the truth, you will not get a chance to misspend your youth. The hospital will soon become your second home, the nurses of the ward, first named terms you become. With the struggles, you will learn the measure of your soul, even when your illnesses will taketh their toll. In your struggles, you will find out whom are your friends for sure, those who never visit struck from that list, feel no sadness for they will not be missed.
Your Immune System will betray you taking from you your intestine for sure, it attacks your blood, liver but to name a few. Its attacks relentless will sometimes leave you exposed to those infections none of us would choose. Influenza can break you this is the truth as it left you helpless for over a week. But that is the least of the problems you've faced. An Infection will send you to the ICU lungs inflamed and filling with fluid, soaked with sweat every second of every day. So close to death you will never really appreciate, but your family called in to be told of your imminent demise but stronger than they expected you where inside. We are tough forged in the fires of hell but tempered in the love of those we hold near.
When you start to help in things medical new friends you will find, from all across the globe both far and near. It might surprise you how important these friends will become, helping and supporting you at every turn. Helping you to see the impact you can have and showing you love of which you are glad. A whole world of opportunities opened up to you from the support of those great people, giving you the platform to help others which has always been your dream.
Unconditional love from strangers might sound strange but it is there, respect shown for the facts you are sharing. Every single one caring about your health.
