March 19…really, March 19?

This date is a day of celebration in my family and my close friends.  It’s a celebration of life. March 19, 2015 would be the 15th anniversary of my father’s death from esphophegeal cancer.  The year he died, I was a senior in high school. I was 18 years old.

And now, I’m 33 years old and have a tumor removed on the 15 anniversary of my father’s passing.
