Imagine being at a point in life where a euphoric feeling of well-being sweeps you along on an idyllic journey toward only good things ahead. You are young, healthy and have seemingly endless potential within you. Then imagine all of that ending in an instant, throwing life into complete turmoil and plunging you into the depths of despair. Such an experience happened to me on a dark wintry night, leaving me to ponder what was left to salvage. What could be done to continue on and reclaim life's dreams and goals? Answers did not come easily, and did not come without a total restructuring of my previoulsy established self-worth and identity. This memoir tells of becoming spinal cord injured at age 22, struggling to deal with this dramatic life change physically, psychologically and socially, and eventually overcoming through faith, determination and personal growth obstacles and challenges faced. It is hoped that in this account lessons of life and the purpose of our journey through this physical world are seen. This is my story, but you may find somewhere in it similarities to your own life experience.
