On the day of my thirteenth birthday, my birthday cake rested on the table— I was now entering the most significant years of my life—or so they say. The best years, they call them—my teen years.  As I blew out the candles, perhaps my destiny was set. Two months later, my life changed completely. It took a turn no human could predict. I’d fallen sick, but this sickness was no cold, no ache that would fade with time. It would last my whole life, and I’d have to grow to accept t
