diagnosed with a brain tumor five months before . She chose to call it a "gift"

because it brought incredible things in her life. Stacy felt in this period like never

her body. She started to meet new people and to have a healthy lifestyle.

it brought back to her life.       RAJMONDA

In "The Best Gift I Ever Survived", we learn from Stacey Kramer who decides to turn a life-threatening diagnosis into something positive and an incredible way to see life in different ways. Without a doubt a gift does not need to be so big to change your life completely, as in Stacey's case family and friends came together, making her feel loved and admired. She knew how to carry out the long process of this change in her life, taking into account that no one prepares us for gifts like this. She knew how to see the positive side of the situation since her family was together again and she had the opportunity to see friends that she had not seen in a long time. My reaction to the main idea is that this story makes me reflect on those situations in life where I can complain about minimal things that are actually nothing compared to what happens to other people.     SARA
