Did yesterday really happen? I woke up today and nothing was different. Then I went outside and saw my car. It did happen. My roommates think I'm in shock because of what happened. I don't think I agree with that. I just expected to feel better today.
My miracle today is that I am alive. If I was taught anything yesterday, it was that life is so precious. I held a person's life in my hands and felt the weight of it. I didn't know who this person was. I didn't know what they had done in their life but I knew that they were important. How could I have been so selfish and blind as to think that I was any different?
There are and will be times in my life when I feel unimportant, cheap and worthless. This experience will forever be ingrained in my mind as a reminder that every life is worth saving. Even my own. People keep telling me how special I am. I don't feel that. I feel like any one of you would have done the same thing had you been in my position. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. And I just happened to be alive and well. What a miracle!
