Your 22nd Year!

Dear Meagan,

Well tomorrow is the big day when my little sister turns 23! I seriously can't believe it... and I can't wait to celebrate with you Friday :)

During this past year you have gone through your fair amount of struggles- this kidney thing being the latest. But last year on your 22nd birthday was probably the lowest point for you emotionally in your recovery. I don't know if you even remember all the things going on (your short term memory was also pretty low at that time)... but  it was rough to watch you go through :/

Meagan Anne from Japan, LOOK AT YOU NOW!!!!!!! I can NOT believe the INCREDIBLE progress you have made in the last year! It is a true miracle and ABSOLUTELY astonishing!  Whenever I talk to you I can't help but smile from ear to ear just thinking about the 180 degree turn you have made... You went from barely surviving to absolutely thriving!

You have turned your life around and broken free from some of the thoughts, people, and habits that used to set you back....

Here is a list of what you have accomplished in your 22nd year:
- You started school again
- You planned/ are planning an amazing charity event
- You started caring about you and taking care of yourself again
- You turned your struggles into victories
- You improved many of the personal relationships you have with others
- You decided to start growing personally
- You grew stronger emotionally and physically
- You got involved with the mAss kickers group
- You developed a positive attitude
- You got back A LOT of your short term memory

I still can't believe it's you from one year ago! I am SO proud of you and I mean that with every ounce of who I am. The best part? There is so much more to come... your road will still have bumps, but it WILL only get better from here because YOU made that decision!

You are so special, I love you! Happy Birthday 23rd sista! 

XOXO,

Brooke
