Night Before Surgery—Beat The Opponent!!!

Good Evening…well about to be morning all.  Tomorrow is the big day!  I don’t know if I am nervous (of course), happy (to be getting this finally done), sad (to be having to go through this), mad (at having to go through this), or anywhere and somewhere in between.

What I can tell you is that I have been inspired by my dear sweet Tallon “T-Ry.” This child has been TERRIFIED of swimming.  In this life, we all have fears.  Some easier to overcome than others.  But, Tallon has truly been scared to death of swimming, swim lessons, jumping in the deep end and even talking about it.  T and I have done everything from bribery, begging, talking to, and rationalizing.  Additionally, we have tried at least 3 different types of swim lessons, swim teachers, swim schools.  From our house, to academies, to working with him ourselves.  Nothing has worked.  In the past few weeks, we traveled to Puerto Rico and my sister (Aunt Tracy) set up swim lessons for Tallon & Sage.  I was like…oh boy, here we go.  Next thing I know, I get a text from my brother (Uncle Rossy) with the video I just posted above.  This child has faced his ultimate fear and is swimming.  If Tallon Ryan can swim…I can beat breast cancer.  I can do this!  Beat the Opponent.

The way I see it, we all have opponents.  Some bigger than others and some harder than others, but whatever our opponent is…the struggle is real…and we must fight and defeat the opponent.  For now, my opponent is breast cancer and I will start my fight first thing tomorrow morning.  Wish me luck!!!

Good Evening All.  Thank you so very much for all of the love & support.

Love, Tara
