Rita Wilson is grateful for a lot these days.
The “That Thing You Do!” actress, 63, took to Instagram to post a series of photos and thank everyone who supported her through tough times, including coronavirus and breast cancer.
“This date, March 29, 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, who is married to Tom Hanks, captioned the photo. “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.”
Wilson also thanked her “online friends” for sending their “prayers and optimism” and expressed how thankful she was “for the blessings God has bestowed on me,” including her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and fourth album.
“Every day I get to make music is a gift,” she wrote. “So much has happened musically in that one year. So much goodness. All of this would not be possible without good health. 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.”
“Please take a moment today to acknowledge the amazing creation your bodies are and to thank it for doing so much.”
Wilson and Hanks finally returned from Australia, where they had been recovering in isolation from COVID-19, last week.
The couple announced on March 11 they had tested positive for the novel virus.
