January 16th, 2015 was the best night I’ve had in a long time. For the first time since I had my surgery I got to go out with my sister Megan, Sills, and my friend Brody. Thanks to Gina, Justin and RUN, I had the chance to go to a Jazz game. Because of my tumors I don’t get the chance to do a lot of things I’ve always wanted to do. Even though it was only one night, I felt like I was somebody important. I felt that l wasn’t being held back by MHE. Even though I was in an intense amount of pain, I felt like it wasn’t the only thing going on in my life. For the last two and a half months I’ve been trapped in my room not being able to be around people, the pain was the only thing on my mind. That night I often found myself watching others smile and laugh, it made me smile. Being around so many people made me happy, I actually had more than 3 people to talk to. I couldn’t stop laughing, people around me must’ve thought I was crazy. But I didn’t care, for the first time in so long I was having a blast. I laughed so hard my abs were sore, I wasn’t focused on my pain. Yeah, I was still hurting really bad but I still had the most fun I’ve had in two or three Years. We got to experience the Jazz game like we were VIP’S. We got to go to dinner in this really fancy room, and the food was delicious. And then after that we got to go watch the game on the ninth row. It was amazing. I could’ve yelled at one of the players, and they could’ve heard me.  We were so close! I loved every minute of it. Even when my friend Brody had to carry me down the stairs! Honestly for the first time in my life didn’t care what any body thought of me. I was having fun. It felt so good to laugh and be happy again. Having MHE is hard, really hard, but thanks to Gina for one night i didn’t have to worry about it. I was in so much pain, but part of me didn’t care. I just wanted to have fun. And I did. I couldn’t thank Gina and Justin enough for making this happen for me. They made me happy when I was in a lot of pain, and trust me that’s not the easiest thing in the world. So thank you for giving me an experience that I won’t forget. Thank you for always being there for me, and so many others. Thank you for making me feel like I was important. You will never know how much it meant to me. (:
