Lifesavers for Latasha

This journey has taught us that just one day can make a difference, whether good or bad. Nevertheless, it’s a contrast worth noting.

Today was no different. Some protein shakes, food, sleep, positive affirmations, a great attitude, and a new day brought Latasha more strength and determination. You can describe Tasha’s mantra in one word: GRIT.

Grit is the ability to show resilience by doing. Grit is the determination to dust yourself off and let yesterday be the past. Grit is not quitting, even when it hurts and seems impossible. Grit is the embodiment of Tasha’s favorite quote: Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes.

Tomorrow is always a chance to be better. Today was a new day—a new day to be excellent, a new day with a new attitude.

Tasha got up and pushed through the pain, walking over 250 feet with just one small rest break. Was she in pain? Yes. Was she tired? Yes. Was she going to let that stop her? Hell no. That’s GRIT.

The medical team is still monitoring her blood clots, fluid overloading, and kidney functions, so that means our ICU stay is extended until next week. But that’s okay; the caregivers here are fantastic and have grown on us.

So, with each day, we grow and conquer, with the goal of being a little bit healthier so we can go home and start that long list of goals and dreams.

We appreciate everyone who reached out yesterday with words of encouragement and love. Tasha reads everything and gathers her thoughts about what she will write when she’s ready.

Until next time, here’s to the Grittiest damn woman I know; Cheers Latasha.
