Today I met a beautiful, 24 yr old woman named Miss L. Five years ago Miss L was a freshman at university. She made soaps & lotions, went snowboarding for the first time, and lived a gregarious life. She was on her way home when her car broke down and while sitting on the side of the road in her car awaiting help another car hit hers. Miss L suffered a traumatic brain injury that has incapacitated her.
Miss L is now a beautiful, crippled lady who must be cared for for the rest of her life. She can barely walk with assistance, she has difficulty speaking & must require the help from others to get dressed. Although this may seem like a horrible life to live, the amazing Miss L is always wearing a broad smile! She can sign 'I Love You' and does so often. Miss L is quick to let you know what you can do to make her happy then shows you how happy you have made her.
Appreciative, sweet, loving, and happy. We should all be that lucky!
Let us not require a horrible accident or traumatic illness to bring us to our peace and prosperity. Remember, success and happiness is all relative!
