✨Against all odds, I stand here today as a walking miracle!
On the 6th of December 2001 my world changed forever after a motor vehicle accident left me with two metal plates a rod and 6 bolts placed in my spine to hold me back together
The doctors shared their bleak outlook about my future, I was diagnosed with major depression, PTSD, severe anxiety just to name a few and here are just a few things I heard
✨You will never walk again
✨You will suffer chronic pain for the rest of your life
✨You will never work again
✨You can’t have anymore children
✨As you get older the worse it will get (im 45 now I had my accident when I was 21)
I felt like my world was crumbling. They painted a bleak picture, but deep down, I knew I had the strength to fight back. With every challenge, I chose hope over fear and determination over doubt.
Through the ups and downs, I’ve learned that our resilience is more powerful than any diagnosis. Every day is a gift, and I’m grateful for the journey that has shaped me into who I am today. I have learned that
✨You achieve what you believe
✨You can let it make you or break you
✨Life is short
✨We hold a power that can’t be explained I truly believe this is Gods work
✨We always have a choice
✨Not everyone gets second chances
I’m not sharing my story for praise or pity im sharing it to give someone hope I pray someone out there sees this and it gives them the hope and strength to know they can make it too
Im here to celebrate the strength within us all!
