This isn’t going to be a post about my physical health but I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you all. I’ve been overwhelmed with financial and emotional support the last 24 hours. I’ve been moved to tears multiple times. If I’m being perfectly honest, I was ashamed of being in this position. Covid put me in this situation too, where I couldn’t work anymore to support my family and just like back then, I was mad at myself for choosing a career that doesn’t have a safety net. But I can’t help but want to be on stage. I make more money performing than I did as a teacher and a construction worker so I always end up back to performing full time. When times are good, I’m so proud of what I do. I feel like a magician, creating joy and uplifting people with my music and performances. Finding out I was sick brought me back to how I felt back in 2020. But just like back then, you all have raised me up. I’m not feeling as pressured to get back to working a full performance schedule as quickly anymore and that has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I can’t thank you all enough for your generous support. I don’t think words will ever be enough. I love you. Thank you.
So GRATEFUL
