Today wraps a year that I'm lucky to be alive. Last year today I checked into the hospital for Bacteria Meningitis with just hours to live. I had 3 strokes that left me in ICU for a week and 3 months recovery for left eye optic nerve damage. I truly am thankful for a full recovery and being alive. The way I value each moment and second of the day has changed. Remember to embrace everyday like it's your last, love as hard as you can and never take anything for granted for all can be gone in less than a second! Thank you all who were there for my recovery. Life's short people, don't forget to live it with a smile on your face! A post shared by Alyssa Arce (@miss_alyssaarce) on Mar 7, 2018 at 2:10pm PST src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js">
