September is full of some special anniversaries:
September 4, 1971: I came to the United States from Korea to be adopted in the state of Minnesota. This was with my first adoptive family. I endured 15 months of brutal physical abuse.
September 10, 1999: I survived 7 hours of brain surgery to remove an AVM.
September 29, 2001: I survived having a grand mal seizure while driving out of a parking lot.
These may not be positive anniversaries, but they are ones to celebrate because I survived all three events and came out even better each time. I am forever grateful for each event.
