This one’s for the woman I adored right through highschool, Meegan. The words are hers. I took them [with her permission] from a message she sent me the other day. Meegan is literally fighting for her life right now. Battling aggressive cancer in order to stay in this life for her teenage boys.

These words, said from the perspective and fierce clarity being so ill brings, rather than from some living-my-best-life positivity, literally stopped me in my tracks. Got me off the white-whiney poor-me lockdown rollercoaster I’d been riding for a few days.

Meegan, your determination and mental toughness is astounding, and so is your beautiful love for your boys. This dear life is bloody lucky to have you in it. Keep going, mate. You got this.

PS: You’re right, this life IS a good one. I just needed your reminder.
