Chapter Six:

I mourned my life before the crash. Even though I was grieving, I refused to let that stop me from living my life.What happened to me wasn’t going to destroy my life any further than it already had, and my family wasn’t going to allow that either.

There were times when I struggled to adjust. As a result of what happened to me, I had to wake up every morning and realize I couldn’t just jump out of bed and get ready for the day. Everything took more time and planning.

Lord, I need your help, every moment or everyday, something good did come out of this, I came to realize how much I needed you. I am grateful Lord, that you have given me the strength that I need. I am asking again for the strength to get through the day. I am grateful Lord for all you have done. I am grateful that I survived Lord, but this isn’t easy.

Every day I became a little more independent, stronger, more capable. I’ll soon be strong enough to go home and continue outpatient physical and occupational therapy.

Everyday my sister and my parents would come and spend as much time with me as they could. Every night I lay in bed, thinking about the days before the accident and wondering what it would be like when I got home. Both my sister and I would be celebrating when that day came, my parents would too.
