Life is a precious gift that we often take for granted.
We get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, work, and responsibilities and fail to appreciate the simple things that make life worth living.
We often assume that we will have tomorrow and forget to live in the moment and make the most of every day. But life can be unpredictable and fragile, and it is important to remember to cherish and make the most of every opportunity we have to be happy.
On page 4, we share the story of Sarina mother, Amy Coyne, who had a brush with death after contracting a rare and dangerous nematode disorder. She was 10 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with having a rare parasite found on wild meat which causes polymyositis, a form of muscle weakness.
This condition is so rare she was only the 11th person in the world to receive the diagnosis and the first pregnant woman ever.
It’s progressive, debilitating and has been known to be fatal in some cases.
You can read her powerful story over the page.
If Amy’s story can teach us anything, it’s to appreciate every bit of time we have and not to take our health for granted.
It is all too easy to get caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past, but when we focus on the present, we can fully experience and appreciate the beauty and wonder of life.
