You do not know how quickly your life or loved ones can change....February 24, 2012.
One year ago, my son suffered a life-changing, trial by fire event in his life. On this day I felt my heart would burst as I waited for news after he was hit by a car. I remember the my son crying, learning both his legs were broken. I remember my friends Leticia and Audrey who sat with me while he was in surgery and the numerous surgeries that followed. The pain; the emotional highs and lows; fear; sadness the array of emotions he experienced. From February to June he was recuperating in hospitals.
My heart leaps to my throat again,when I get a call from his father. In the middle of all this, his sister has an incredible auto accident; flipping numerous times after the car she was driving filled friends is side swiped by a big rig. Blessedly, everyone survives and she walks away emotionally shaken but without injuries; and her friends walk away also. The car did not make it. Seeing the photo was too much.
During this time, we received much support from friends and family in so many ways: physical, verbal, monetary, spiritual, psychological, emotional, nutritional, too numerous to count. I remember the prayers we received. Those who held bedside vigils with us: Alexis, Rihanna, John, Ryan, Jamie, Linda, Molly; the Swedish girls, the skaters and all the other friends young and old who visited and showed so much love; ones whose names I can quickly draw to mind and others of whom I can only see your smiles: the mothers from Brazil bringing food and massages; Jermaine, Sandra, Zandra, Sandra Z., Sandra R. and Xochi; Shelley, Raphael, Nina and hubby, Leila, the mothers; Daphina, fathers, neighbors; the doctors, hospital staff, nursing home staff; truly a "rainbow coalition" of friends and family.
Throughout it all. My son visualized and fought to stay positive....more so than I could at times. "Mom don't worry so much. Everything will be fine."
Setting strong intentions and visualizing his positive outcome. He manifested it.
Today my son called to thank me for being there and going through the fire with him. My heart feels like it might burst again; this time with so much love, joy and thankfulness and a big smile.
Thank you God! Thank you family. Thank you friends.
We thank you all.
