Strange to think..

It is strange to think that at one time I could not move my hands
It is strange to think that at one time I could not speak
It is strange to think that at one time I could not get my balance, even sitting
It is strange to think that I did not listen to my own music for several months
It is strange to think that at one time I could not eat
It is strange to think that at one time I could not brush my teeth
It is strange to think that at one time they were talking about putting a permanent tube into my stomach to consume water, medication, and food

It is strange to think that at one time I was supposed to die

…but did not die

It is very easy for me to forget what I have been through and to forget what I have done. I know that, at some times, I can seem really downtrodden and tortured. Please remember that I have proven that I can survive and will survive. Please know that I love every person who has stuck around very much

I could not have done this without the people around me.

Thank you.
