Tuesday, September 10: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn.
This would have been a perfect post for Thursday.
Thursday will be the 14th anniversary of the car wreck that paralyzed me.
You can read about that here.
This time 14 years ago, I was walking and running and dancing and going UP AND DOWN stairs.
Little did I know in two short days I would be forever changed.
Now I needed one and I knew it before the doctors even told me.
One might say that was a pretty distinct turn.
Frankly, I’m not sure I care to talk about it much this year.
It’s over. It’s done.
Yet, I always know when it’s that time.
Even if I forget, something ALWAYS reminds me the closer I get to the day and time.
The last two years I keep promising to share a journal I briefly kept from that time, but there’s always an excuse or a reason not to.
Maybe next year.
Here is my prom picture, taken just a few months before. I’m the one that way overused the tanning bed.
I hope you get through the day filling it with fun and love. I see so much bravery, openness, and honesty in the blogland, and I always love and respect that.

I randomly clicked your link from all the links and am so glad I did. I haven’t had a chance to read much about you, but it is clear that you are awesome.
Priscilla,
You know I love and treasure you as a friend. I will hold you up in my thoughts on Thursday. You always amaze me and even though I know you don’t dwell, it is understandable that the anniversary would grip you.
((HUGS))

Nice photo. 🙂
I found your blog through blogtemeber and I must confess I spent the past hour or so reading your story and have been so inspired. I saw that you lived in Vidor for a short while, I grew up in Port Neches. 😉 I look forward to following your beautiful family blog and your style posts.

Priscilla,
Your life took a turn that terrible day, and I can certainly empathize. I broke my neck in a MVA(July 22,1995). I knew I was paralyzed before they told me. I had suspected the worst in the ER, and it was confirmed when I heard someone say “fracture-dislocation”. I knew that I would be a quad for the rest of my days.
BUT…life threw you and I a curve. You have been able to adapt and overcome in AMAZING ways. Your gifts have been magnified and multiplied, breaking down barriers and shattering stereomtypes. Thanks for all you do. You are such a blessing to so many.
