3rd GTBAD Letter

October 2000
 
 
Dear Family and Friends,
 
It's that time of year again. It's time to celebrate my 3rd annual Glad to be Alive Day!! Get out your party hats and streamers, and on October 22 celebrate LIFE. It doesn't matter whose life you celebrate, it could be anyone's, just as long as you celebrate.
 
I hope all is well in your lives. My life is great. I am going to school full time without my wheelchair. I am up 8 lbs. And am living life to the fullest. High school is great. I went to our Home Coming dinner & dance for the 1st time, and looked like a princess out of a fairy tale.
 
I want to express my deepest gratitude to those of you who prayed for me. God has blessed not only my life, but also the lives of the people around me. If you don't have a relationship with God, I encourage you to begin one.
 
I also want to thank all of you for being there for us. Your support for my family and I has been another miracle altogether. Without you who knows what would have happened!!
 
Remember on October 22 just celebrate LIFE. Celebrate because you can. Just like my favorite new song "It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I'm just gonna live while I'm alive!!"** You only have one life, so live like you've never lived before! Take care,
 
With Love,
 
Emily
