Thank you to everyone for the well wishes on my BD. Im overwhelmed at how many people forbid me from forgetting my BD! My friends are great! I joke a lot, but let me explain how important it is to let your friends & especially your family know how much they mean to you! When I fell from the roof and broke my neck, I knew the reality of my injury. For 6 hrs. in the cold mist I prayed someone would find me before the spinal swelling would shut down my diaphragm or hypothermia would set in! Not that I had something important left in my life to do, I felt OK there! I wanted to tell each and everyone in my family that I loved them. Something that I tried to live but a little mushy to say. I wore a cross necklace and I planned to have that in my hand if I ever was found lifeless (to let them know my last thoughts in life were of my family & my lord) & that I was waiting for them at a softball field next to a golden street). Here is the irony, the injury left me with hands that didnt work or feel. Fingers that were so limp that I couldnt reach down my shirt neck or in my pocket to my phone. Here is my point, to my friends- when you or your family are hurt or sick I feel heart felt empathy! To my family- when my children were little, I loved to feel their faces and hair and I loved hugs. Like so many things in life I took that sense of touch for granted. So simplistic, I knew those feelings would always be just an arms reach away. Not so. Im far from all knowing or attempting to preach, but remember. A smart person learns from their mistakes, a wise person learns from the mistakes of others! Thank God my cheeks still feel my wonderful grand children.
