Thank you to my friends who left me when I needed them, also the ones who were there for me every time I needed a shoulder to cry on. Today is finally Christmas, I ' ll be as happy as I could be I ' ll enjoy it while it last because before I know it ' ll end like the sun set. Beautiful and fast. Use your eyes as a camera to capture all the beautiful moment and feelings. Keep the memories like a photograph. I remember my excitement to go to church on Christmas eve. I remember how I messed up my face with makeup as though it ' s paint. I washed the windows of my eyes because there ' s too much foundation cream. I pick up the makeup brush, dipped it in my glittery gold eye shadow and painted it on my eyelids like an artist painting a portrait. I remember how my legs hurts from running in my 3 inch high heels. I remember how happy I was when my family stopped by Mac Donald ' s and ate this cool vanilla ice cream that tasted like heaven. I was filled with joy. Sometimes the best moments are the ones that you can only use your eyes to capture it forever in you heart and replay it all over again. I ' ll have to admit, the best part of Christmas apart from spending time with the people you love is the part when everyone is gathered around the Christmas tree and opening the presents with huge smiles on their face. Christmas, is the most wonderful time of the year. I still can ' t believe that Christmas is finally here and the year 2017 is waving a big hello to us all. Dear 2017, please be a good one. To all who ' s battling with this monster called cancer, once the storm is over, you won ' t remember how you made it through, How you managed to survived it. You probably won ' t even realize when the storm is finally over and you can breathe. After all of the struggles the pain and the huge storm you ' ve been put in, one thing for certain is that when you come out from the storm you won ' t be the same person when you walked in. Don ' t just survive, live.
