1 year ago today...

one year ago today i was reborn. dr. facundus and dr. foreman gave me my life back and for that i am eternally grateful. no amount of thanks or praise will ever convey to them what this has meant to me and what it continues to mean to me on a daily basis. i can't even begin to express the extent of my gratitude...



















here's the measurements that go along with this...
