A close friend of mine had a tragedy five years ago. Her alcoholic husband was drunk and high and careened out of control on his motorcycle. He has since been paralyzed from his C2 vertabra down.
Since all this has happened, my friend and I have reconnected. There's something about going through such a severe life trauma that connects people. I'm not comparing our situation to an accident necessarily, but I see how our situation also came suddenly and turned our lives upside down.
I used to feel embarrassed and hurt for people who had to survive situations like mine. Now, I feel incredible awe and inspiration when I hear of another family surviving a similar sitch. I don't know why God threw this mountain in our path.
I agree, though, that this was a tragedy.
