The past week!

Life has its way of spiraling out of control. I have definitely found out who my real friends are! I have found out that I can handle alot more than I thought I could. I know I already posted this quote but I also have it on my wall above my bed. "Its crazy how one day you think you could never live your life without him. Than the next day, your doing just that." It just goes to show that there is a reason some people don't make it to your future. One of my favorite songs about having strength is by Bucky Covington. Its entitled I'll walk. It talks about him being 18 years old with his girlfriend on prom night. They got in a huge fight and she tells him to pull the car over and let her out. He tries to stop her and she says "I'll walk. Let go of my hand. Right now I'm hurt and you don't understand. So just be quiet later we will talk. Just LEAVE don't worry. I'll walk" That night the girl gets hit by a truck. When he goes to visit her in the hospital the doctors tell him that her legs still won't move. He cries when he walks into her room. She says "I'll walk! Please come and hold my hand, right now I'm hurt and I dont understand! Lets just be quiet. Later we can talk. Please stay! Don't worry. I'll walk." So he held her hand through the weeks and months of therapy. He asks her to be his bride. Her dream since she was a little girl is to have her daddy bring her down the aisle. So from a wheelchair, she looks up at him and smiles. She says "I'll walk, please hold my hand. I know that this will hurt. I know you understand. Please Daddy don't cry. This is already hard. Lets go! Don't worry I'll walk."
How incredible would it be to have so much strength. I dont know what I would do if had an accident and was paralyzed.. I would not handle it well. Last week Baron, a guy at works niece and nephew were shooting eachother with airsoft guns. Well apparently his niece picked up a .22 pistol thinking it was just another airsoft gun and shot her brother in the neck. He was life flighted to the U hospital where he is paralyzed from the chest down. How sad. I can't imagine being in his or his sisters position. How heart wrenching. He is recovering quite well. He still doesnt know that he is paralyzed. The havent told him. He will be in the hospital for 6 or 7 months! On a happier note though I found out today that i get thanksgiving and the day after off! Thats Happy! Haha!
