Grateful that i am still here!! via /r/gratitude

3-5 year life expectancy with aggressive interstitial lung disease. Feb 18 was the 2-year mark of when my disease first started so it's been about 26 months. It really sucks because that's also how old i am, 26. Throughout this entire journey i've been 100% convinced about 1000 different times that this day would be the end, when things get extremely bad. I've gotten very close to death a handful of times. But each time i've managed to pull through so far. I'm trying to put my faith in a higher power that everything will work out for me exactly the way it is meant to 🙏 i want to be around for as long as possible to see as much of my daughter's life and her growing up as i can
