AS I SIT HERE AND COUNT DOWN THE DAYS, I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT ALMOST A YEAR SINCE MY ACCIDENT. IT WAS A ROUGH YEAR FOR ME,MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.I REALLY CANT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPEN THAT DAY OF MAY 1 2009 BUT GUESS THATS JEHOVAH WAY OF LETTING ME FORGET THE PAIN.I GAIN AND I LOST ALOT OF THINGS SINCE THEN. I GAIN A LOT MORE FRIENDS AND RESPECT AND MOST IMPORTANT MORE FAITH. MY FAITH HELP ME RECOVER AND HELP ME HEAL.BUT I LOST SOMETHINGS AS WELL. I LOST SOME FRIENDSHIPS,TIME, AND MY LEGS. AT FIRST I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ME? WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS? BUT KNOW I UNDERSTAND. BEFORE MY ACCIDENT I WAS A GREAT FRIEND TO ALL WHO NEEDED ME. COUNTLESS TIMES PAYING FOR MEALS,GIVE RIDES,GIVING ADVICE,JUST BEING BY YOUR SIDE, OR A SHOULDER TO CRY ON. JEHOVAH ALLOW ME TO HAVE A SECOND CHANCE TO STILL BE A GOOD PERSON AND TO HELP OTHER.I MOTIVATED ALOT OF POEPLE WITHOUT SAYING ONE WORD, JUST BY MY ACTIONS AND ATTITUDE. SOMETIME I SIT BACK AND THINK WHAT I WENT THROUGH AND JUST START TEARING UP.BUT I HAVE TO THINK BOUT MY SUPPORT TEAM AND WHAT THEY HELP ME GET THROUGH.I REMEMBER A NURSE FROM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL TOLD ME I HAD SO MANY FAMILY AND FRIEND IN THE LOBBY WHEN I CAME IN THE ER, SHE SAID "YOU MOST BE POPULAR?" I LAUGH AND SAY NO I JUST TREAT OTHER LIKE I WANT TO BE TREATED.I REALIZE LIFE IS SHORT. I COULD HAVE WENT TO SLEEP AND NEVER WOKE UP BUT I DIDNT. I WAS BLESSED TO WAKE UP EVERYDAY AFTER THAT. I'M SO BLESS TO HAVE A GREAT FAMILY,BLESSED TO HAVE GREAT DOCTORS & NURSES,BLESSES TO HAVE CHRIS DALY AND HIS TEAM,BLESSED TO HAVE STEVE MILLER AND STAFF AT HANGER PROSTHETICS,BLESSED TO HAVE GREAT THERAPIST AND BLESSED TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS. AS THE BIBLE SAY IN COLOSSAINS 3:13 "if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." AND WITH THAT SAID I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE THAT I HURT.I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME IF YOU DONT IT OK. AS I NOW REBUILD MY LIFE I'M MAKING THE BEST OUT OF IT, GETTING A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH JEHOVAH, HAVING A LOVING AND CARING WOMAN BY MY SIDE,AND BEING A STRONG MOTIVATING PRESON THE WORLD NEEDS.LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM WHERE I SITTING IN A ROOM WITH NO DOORS OR WINDOWS WITH ONE LIGHT FIXTURE AND I HEARD A VOICE SAY TO ME "WHY R U AFRIAD?" I SAID " I'M NOT" THEN THE VOICE SAY "I SEE IT IN YOUR HEART" THEN I SAY "REALLY? I DONT FEEL AFRIAD" THE VOICE LET OUT A ROARING LAUGH THE SAID "DONT HESITATE WITH TAKING CHANCES IN YOUR LIFE JAMES, CAUSE SOMETIME YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT,YOUR VERY LUCKY TO GET TO REDO IT AGAIN" SO FRIENDS AND FAMILY I TELLING YOU TO "LIVE LIFE" MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT, BECAUSE YOUR NOT ALWAYS PROMISE TOMORROW.
