A Year Ago Today: The Truth I Never Saw Coming

One year ago today, I was in Orlando, sitting in a hospital room with my father.

The decision to go was instant. Something deep inside told me I needed to be there.

It was only a couple of weeks after I learned I had beat cancer.
Only a few days after I saw a future that was mine but looked nothing like my present.
And just days before I remembered the truth about my life, starting with my childhood.

At the time, I didn’t know any of that.

All I knew was that I had spent my life trying to answer one question:
Why did I feel worthless?

And when I couldn’t answer that, I tried to solve the second:
Why was I so angry?

I thought if I could figure out those two things, I would finally be okay.

But here’s the thing about the truth:
IF you don’t find it. It finds you.

And when it does, it doesn’t just answer your questions.
It forces you to ask the ones you never dared to ask before.

And those questions?
They’re the hardest part.

And in my experience, the only thing worse than facing them is trying to shove them down.

Because trying to hold back wonder?
That’s far worse than letting it lead you to the truth.

This week’s blog is just a glimpse, maybe 10%, of the wonder that changed my life.

As I sit at the one-year mark of when everything shifted, I wanted to share the story in a different way.

The questions.
The weight.
The moment everything changed.
