Life isn't counted by the breaths you take but the moments that take your life away- I am thankful for my life! My life was almost taken at an early age-
Rewind back in time... Flash back to years ago- I was just a little girl, in the car with my family, 5:30AM my dad was driving the family roadster and I was sitting on my mom's lap, strapped in (Before car seat laws). My brother was in the back seat sleeping When faster than the speed of light- our car hydroplaned, the car flipped, rolled, rolled and rolled 10 times down a 50 foot embankment.
Luckily there was a truck driver that came to our aid- he witnessed the whole accident. He pulled my family out of the car. I was thrown from the seat belt and went through the windshield, I was flown so far they couldn't find me. My dad & brother searched and found me in a near by field, not breathing. The truck driver loaded us all in his Truck and called for help, this was before cell phones- an ambulance came and met us- We were transported to a local Hospital where angels swarmed...
To make a long story short, my dad & brother were lucky and came out with cuts and bruises, my mom had a broken neck, and was paralized on the right side, she spent 28 weeks in a circular bed with prongs in the side of her head that was flipped every 2 hours. My right lung was punctured & left lung collapsed, every bone was broken in my body and my body full of abrasions. I was in intensive care, and spent 28 weeks in an oxygen tent. Doctors gave me two weeks to live.
Our will to live was strong and we fooled the doctors- We truly were miracles! Mom got all feeling back and beat any prognosis. Soon we were both, running, dancing and singing in the rain!
We were given a gift & we embrace every day as it is truly a gift, every day is a new gift to unwrap.
