As my YouTube channel continues to grow, I often think about my dear friend Milly. It was through her YouTube channel our friendship was born. We navigated the world of doctors together and shared insight on how to live with our medical conditions.
When Milly passed away in 2016, her mom posted on her Facebook page her favorite video Milly made was called Be Thankful Always. In the video, Milly discusses all the challenges she was facing at that moment, but she was thankful for many things. Thanksgiving was coming and her family would be together.
The video is a mixture of happiness and sadness. I have thought about that video frequently over the last four years. The video has inspired me to try to always look for the good in every situation.
As the time came to shoot a video for Thanksgiving, I could not help but fashion my own video after Milly’s. Life is a mixture of sweet and bitter. There are good days and bad days. If we can remember to be thankful always, even the challenges can be blessings.
May the memory of Milly continue to inspire all those who knew her. May we all find things to rejoice in this day and every day of the year.
