Thank you

So, finally a year has passed this day, and it has been a day of mixed emotions for me as I don’t know to be sad as what happened or to be happy for the new been granted to me on this day. Today I can either be sad for what I had lost or be happy for everything it has given me. This day to me signifies as I said in my last post how life can change in a split second and we should cherish every moment of it. We should not keep any grudges with anyone as you never know what will happen next. Even if a person who has planned every his/her move has to be prepared to what if something goes sideways.

Now, we are done with that. I think its time to let everyone know how thankful I am to all those who have supported me till now and appreciate them for all there hard work they have put into me, so that I could get back up, accept my status as specially challenged and enjoy my life as I used to do earlier to the best of my strengths.

There are a lot of things that tempt you to get negative and think why your life sucks now, as honestly because many things do suck now. But I rather try to think about certain things so that I stay positive and be thankful about, so of those can be listed as follows:

1. My brain activity has remained unaffected by the accident.
2. My hand functions have been totally unaffected.
3. I can still go outside and enjoy as I used to.
4. I have bad-ass battle scares.

But now I cannot thank enough to god for sparing my life, as anything could have happened. I thank him for letting me live and giving the strength to fight all the negativity that comes towards me. Also giving me a 2^nd chance towards life and making me more reformed in my re-birth.

I would also like to thank all the those who have stayed by my side from day one of my rebirth to this day. There are a few people worth mentioning here without whom this journey wouldn't be possible. As I wrote in my previous blog you all know about my pillars who have been with me in my thick and thin. We all have tried to become strength of each other.

I still remember when my sister first came up to me in the hospital emergency where I was given first aid and asked me what happened? How severe are your injuries?

My answer was “Nothing much just have a fractured collar bone, cracked ribs, broken spine and paralyzed waist down, nothing much” and she was like should I be sad or happy about this!!!

I still cannot forget what happened and how we all dealt with it. It was like we were all supporting each other so that nobody breaks down.

I remember trying to focus to cheer everybody rather then crying in pain as were everyone doing to each other.

I remember father being himself ill but trying to take care of me, and I told him, dad you should go back home and take rest as there were a lot of others here to care for me.

Then there was this girl who was sitting besides me trying to comfort me, but I knew that from inside she was totally shattered, and I was just consoling her that I am fine.

These are just a few of my memories from that day.

But now when I look back to that day on the positive side, I see all those who have supported me to come out of this.

Today I want to thank first to God for blessing me with another chance at life so I could fulfill all the things I dreamt of doing.

My parents for supporting and encouraging me to face life courageously and positively.

My sister, jiju (brother in law) and their family, I cannot thank them enough. They have stayed by my side at every turn. From being the first respondents from my side at the hospital to this day, they have taken care of me as if I am their child.

My niece, well what can I say for this pure soul. Being not even 5 years of age but still understanding what has happened and how she can mend her way so to help me as well enjoy fun with me. She understands my needs and what needs to be done at that moment. I am truly blessed to have her.

The girl who is a perfect example of what life partner means as a lot of people leave you when such a thing happens but not her. She has stayed by my side from the day she came into my life to this day and forever.

My friends who have stayed besides me all the time. I remember at my friend’s wedding, he was also looking after me despite being busy in his marriage function, he tried to keep all his functions accessible, so that I could be part of all his marriage function which really felt very special. Then there is one for whom I don’t know what to say about, he has stayed beside and tried to help me any way possible just like a little brother.

I know I have just listed a few in this post but the list of  people to thank is just to long.  But I cannot thank enough to all as I rarely show emotions that much. I hope everybody gets to know how thankful I am to each and every person known and unknown, close and distant one to me crisscrossing my life for achieving the best in me.
