The night that changed everything, after a normal day of school and play, my best friend and I made a decision that was set to change the layout of our lives and the lives of our close friends and family. This true diary entry-style read is my story, one I've written over many years. The tears and emotion behind the pages of this book were really felt by me deep into my core as I sat and typed my life out. After my first year of recovery, I visited the site and my best friend, Charmaine. Upon returning, I felt compelled to get up and start writing. I began to write through the tears and wrenching pain. I sat at my keyboard and just typed. I continued writing on the daily; it would help me just let go for that moment. This story takes you through all my ups and downs, my tears, my pain, my feelings of losing myself and my life, and all the in-between of what it's like to live after such a horrific accident to then feeling and regaining my confidence the way I am. Despite my doubt for many years, my strength shines through. Many will say I was strong from the beginning. "Strength comes from within and it can be used in a mighty way if you believe."
