I read a blog post that spoke to me, and I’d thought I’d share. The article talks about making the switch to becoming a survivor and not a victim. I struggled with this concept a great deal. I felt alone, even though God, my family, and friends were there. It was really hard to stop blaming others for my accident, especially with the mental and physical aspects of the situation starring me in the face. I couldn’t put all the pieces back together again until I realized there are many others in this world who have gone through similar trauma and have triumphed with flying colors. I also realized how blessed I was to be here, as some have been far less fortunate.
This past weekend was another milestone. It was cool to be able to take my daughter out to the park and ride again. She and I did some laps around this sidewalk trail which is up the road from where I live. I tried to get her to ride her bike, but she insisted on wearing her skates. Since I’m wrapped around her little finger, I didn’t have one little problem with that. We had a blast.
hey ramon,
there are things we can’t change but we can change how we feel about ourselves and the life before us.
There is always something good we can take away from anything bad that happens, because they change us for the better. even though we hurt along the way.
my best wishes to you. i am glad you found your way through it.
good luck.
