Éireann,
I will take some time to absorb everything you have shared with us. Thank you for updating, I was right here waiting when the video went up.
You are so strong. I thank you for the message about sometimes just needing a cry and then other times, it’s grand. I’m in that mindset myself, I think. (I’ve been having mystery symptoms including seizures and spinal issues. Docs are still trying to figure out what to do with me. Some days I feel like I can do anything. Others, I’m crying alone in my bathroom from the weight of it all.)
My honest advice, truly: do not panic. Try not to let your mind go to that dark place. It’s okay if it does, it’s only human. But don’t reside there ❤ You got this, girl. Medical professionals will tell us all the time, based on the typical patient, what “will” happen to us. But God is with us. God is supreme!!!
This was one of my grandmother’s favorite poems, I’ll share it with you here. It’s a very famous one called Footprints in the Sand:
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord,
across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you.
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
❤❤❤
So many hugs going out to you. Please keep us posted if you wish to do so. We all will be here for you. I might be back to comment again later when things have absorbed. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling, but want you to know that you are not alone. Not at all ❤ You’ve got all of us :)
Brandi 💜

@diaryofeireann 🥰 I learned that there are two ways to go when you are facing your own mortality: 1) You can fall into the deep well of despair and feel even worse or 2) You can continue to do like you are doing now - by sharing your journey, and being that powerful light that guides you through the tunnels of the unknown. After I was released from the hospital, I began writing a journal online; and I shared it with whoever wanted to read it. I wanted to remember everything I felt and did while I was healing. It was the greatest therapy, and it still is to this day. What you are doing is giving hope to everyone. You have this special gift, this special purpose to share every nuance, every stage of your journey - all the peaks and valleys, every step, with the thousands of people online who only know your story from afar, and yet they still feel like family. Several years from now, when the day comes when you watch these videos again, your long journey will reveal how strong you were, how much stronger you have become, and just how much you have grown as a wonderful, beautiful human being.
