7 years

May 2nd, 2006. Its a day I don't remember at all but yet, its significance is one I will never forget. Every year, as the anniversary of my accident approaches, I think it will no longer affect me. But even after 7 years, I cannot help but be overcome with emotion as I think back to all that happened, all that I went through, and all that could have been. I was broken and I am now scarred forever, but I survived and I am stronger. I almost lost my life, I almost lost my legs. But by the grace of God and the hands of doctors, I am here, living proof of a miracle. Thankful for today and every day. But especially today.
