Celebrate Life!

Life isn't counted by the breaths you take but the moments that take your life away.  My life was almost taken at an early age.   


Rewind back in time... Flash back many years ago- I was just a little girl, in the car with my family, 5:30AM my dad was driving the family roadster.  When faster than the speed of light, our car hydroplaned, flipped, rolled, rolled and rolled multiple times down a 50 foot embankment.

Luckily a truck driver, who witnessed the accident came to our aid.   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 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 paralyzed 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 from head to toe.  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.
