The gray sky outside my kitchen window matched how I felt inside. Hopeless. I sighed and turned away. Life had lost all meaning.
Nearly a year earlier, on a sunny Fourth of July day, I drove to a nearby lake to celebrate with friends and family. It was my birthday. After a long workweek, I was looking forward to our picnic. And I couldn’t wait to get in the water. I loved to swim.
“Here I go,” I shouted, laughing, as I dove headfirst from a boat dock into the lake. That was the last thing I remember. I was pulled unconscious from the water with a severed spine, paralyzed from the waist down.
After months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, I was finally home. But things weren’t going well. I had to adjust to many lifestyle changes. I was impatient with myself as well as my three teenage daughters.
Turning from the kitchen window couldn’t keep the grayness at bay. Oh God, what am I going to do? My life has fallen apart.
