The Day That Changed my Life......
So story of my life my biological father has been in prison since i was a baby. And my entire life has been knowing him behind a prison wall. When my sister and i turned 18 we took it upon ourselves to start going to visit him ourselves. I wasn't really sure for what though. i mean to have asthma attacks every time i had to leave him because id start crying so much i couldn't breath? yes this was my relationship with my father. When on November 12, 2010 my sister and i decided to go take a road trip damn near to Canada from the bronx, ny to see him. We rented a car..we packed food and clothes to stay the weekend in a motel i mean we had it all down-pack....and we got there and we had a wonderful 2 days with him. The time had come as always to part ways and i did it surprisingly not as emotional as my entire life...It was done my sister and i had accomplished a successful road trip with pictures and videos to last us a lifetime! I was driving first and i drove the 1st 4 hours before i got sleepy and we switched drivers at a gas station....you know when i think back on that moment i remember this really friendly girl at the register who thought we were cool for taking the road trip and she told us good luck and drive safely home...those words were never needed as much as i thought they were until about an hour later.....So my sister is driving... the music is blasted and i recline my seat back to take a snooze i called my mom to let her know we were 3 hrs away and she was happy and was cooking our favorite meal we said our good byes and i closed my eyes....now stupid me i had forgotten to put my seat belt on when we left the gas station, and my eyes are closed and my seat is reclined with no seat belt and just like that, i heard a whisper i knew it wasn't my sister and i didn't understand it at first and then there it was "Put your seatbelt on" i was confused and i thought i was crazy but just like that i put my seatbelt on and went back to sleep....my body started swerving and it immediately woke me up and there i wake up to what i thought was going to be the last time i wake up....we swerved back and forth and BOOM we hit a ditch head o and started tumbling 1...2...3..4...and then the silence only lasted a second before the screams of fear and agony came out of me and my sister....We were hanging upside down and the pain from the seatbelt cutting into our muscles was horrible my sister was held by both straps the one across her chest and the one across her lap however, since i had been reclined, the strap across my leg was the only thing holding me so my upper body twisted every which way and hit anything and everything it could....my face took 2 tremendous blows to the dashboard.......We released ourselves and i fell flat and couldnt move i thought i was paralyzed...my arm was twisted in a way it was suppose to twist my face was covered with so much blood i was unrecognizable and ribs bruised making it hard to breath....i remember holding my sisters hand when a man behind us who witnessed everything came running and he turns out to be a volunteer paramedic??? Coincidence i think not its called GOD.....so my sister crawls out of the car and im passed out...i had lost so much blood so quickly i just passed out my body shut down and the ambulance arrived and couldnt find a pulse...i remember being like in a far place u know where everything sounds like an echo and in the distance..that was what i felt like and then i opened my eyes to see this kind faced woman calling my name and telling me to stay with her that im going to be ok...but i just wanted my sister and i demanded to know where she was in all of the little i could speak my face was so banged up i couldnt even talk.....in the ambulance i went in and out of consciousness i dont remember a lot i remember the male paramedic telling me to stay with him and them having to suction the blood out of my throat because i was choking on it....as we arrived at the hospital my pressure began to drop and they rushed me in suddenly i had 2 doctors and 4 nurses working on me it was like a movie was being played infront of me or a soap opera i just couldnt believe it...was this really happening to me???? After everything and my parents arrived they wanted me closer to home so they decided to take me back to the bronx and i went to the ER there...i was x-rayed..given shots and then sent home...all i can do is heal now, thats what they told me, so i went home and i healed as best as i could taking it day by day...and im changed..God saved me he spared my sisters life and mine. When a realization like happens you are never the same...........
