Rita Wilson, actress and wife of Hollywood star Tom Hanks, is celebrating being a “COVID-19 survivor”.
Now that the actress and her husband are back in their home here after being self-quarantined in Australia while battling the coronavirus, Wilson is taking time to reflect on her luck.
She took to Instagram on Sunday to share that she is “celebrating the beauty of this life, the blessings God has given, and my continued good health, even now as a COVID-19 survivor”.
According to Wilson, March 29 is a special date that “represents a time of great happiness”.
“I was on Broadway starring with Larry David in his play Fish In The Dark before finding out I had been diagnosed with breast cancer,” Wilson captioned a slideshow of three photos.
The first image shows her and David standing side by side and smiling.
“March 29 also marks five years of being cancer free after having had a bilateral mastectomy. I am so thankful for my health, for the doctors, nurses, friends and family who got me through that time. You, online friends, also need to be thanked because your prayers and optimism were felt deeply. And, so thankful for the blessings God has bestowed on me, then and now,” she continued.
“And one year ago today, I released my fourth album, Halfway to Home,” the caption continued, with the third picture in the post showing the cover of her album.
“Every day I get to make music is a gift. So much has happened musically in that one year. So much goodness. All of this would not be possible without good health. Please take a moment today to acknowledge the amazing creation your bodies are and to thank it for doing so much,” she added. She concluded: “So, today, March 29, I am celebrating the beauty of this life, the blessings God has given , and my continued good health, even now as a COVID 19 survivor.” (IANS)
