How Tracy Affected my life.

Hello there! I'm Bambi. I'm fabulous. That could be the end of my writing to sum me all up. Always seems like though I have something to say. I would say though, the passing of my friend Brandy's sister really prompted me to start my own blog. I read her sisters blog & have been inspired so much. Tracy Harnly. The girl with a million dollar smile & heart. She had cancer for five years before it took her precious life. This woman was a wife, a sister, a mother of two darling boys, a daughter. And oh so loved by everyone she came in contact with. In all her pictures there is pure joy in her smile that could light up the darkest room. She writes in her blogs about her life with cancer, her sad parts, but her humor always made me wipe my tears away with laughter. She jokes about her uniboob. Not just anyone would have handled cancer & life the way Tracy did. Attitude is everything. Every blog post had what she was thankful for. I loved that. So many times this past year I have been depressed and sad about my marriage falling apart and the mean stuff said to me by people and I really got down on myself to the point I started drinking. Drinking alot. Seemed kind of funny all within a week I stopped drinking read all Tracy's blogs. I was like I was so like her before. I always laughed and smiled. Even though my best friend and friends told me this too will pass....I kept putting off stopping drinking to numb. People said to me, Bambi you are going to kill yourself. You need to think of your girls. I thought I will next week. I just need to "not deal and not feel now". Then I started really thinking after a night I got comatose drunk and next day thought about how horrible I am to waste my life this way. Tracy probally knew she was going to lose her battle yet up until her last day and breathe, she remained positive, she had a great attitude. I thought what if I was killed in a car wreck or just anything. Every second I waste being depressed about the hand I was dealt with. I realized that day it was enough. I am going to be the Bambi I know. The one full of smiles, and hugs and be inspiring for other people. Just like Tracy did for me. The heavens got an angel that day. RIP TRACY!
