I met this awe inspiring woman April 9th 2025, she was very unwell and came with a very sad prognosis which she absolutely refused to own but instead she wore a big smile and on days when she couldn’t move so well she still came along to the gym anyway, maybe it was just 5 minutes on the treadmill followed by some breathing exercises and gentle movement or as much as her body would allow.
Her smile masked her pain, she lived only in the moment and celebrated every win, she spoke only of recoverery and the support of her medical team, and her prescious daughter. She didn’t blame, she wasn’t angry she was just focused on getting well.
Today, I noticed Suzanne on the treadmill, she was beaming ear to ear, she had just been given the news from her doctor that all the hard work had paid off.
One year ago she was told to get her affairs in order today she celebrates at least another 5 years, I have no doubt that Suzanne will outlive most of us.
Congratulations my sweet lady, own your recovery, you are one special gal!!!
