Hey friends.
Today is a very special day for me. 10 years ago on this 10th day of November I was going in for my scoliosis surgery. I can't believe it has been 10 years!!!
In celebration of my 10 year mark, I got a tattoo last friday right next to my scar. I got the words "grace like rain" (http://twitpic.com/35mpmv). These words are lyrics from a version of Amazing Grace, and the title of a song I wrote as well. It is also my middle name (grace). I wanted to get these words tattooed on my back because I truly feel like God's grace brought me through my surgery, and the recovery, and is a huge part of life living with a fused spine!
As I have mentioned before I am a singer/songwriter and I have a song that I wrote about my journey with scoliosis called "This Scar." I am currently in the midst of recording my first full length album and this song will be on it. Since it's not completely finished, I wanted to share with you the video I made two years ago of the song on my youtube channel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GFUvQG-7ks
Anyways I just really wanted to share this with you guys because it feels like a big day and I thought you all would understand. My friends & family celebrate with me, but don't TOTALLY get it. Every other year I pretty much let the day pass without even remembering it's significance, but not this year!
Hope you're all doing really well!
Thanks.
