Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin reflected on the precious gift of life as he celebrated his 25th birthday on Friday, over two months since his frightening cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game.

Hamlin, who has made several public appearances since the terrifying episode in January, described his feelings toward celebrating another birthday as he thanked his supporters in an Instagram post.

Life is a precious gift. Its a blessing to see another birthday, wrote Hamlin alongside a number of personal pictures, including snaps with rappers Jay-Z and Quavo .
