A day to remember in your life...

The day that I remember the most of all, was somewhere around the summer of 04.
What happened that day, was me having an accident, while I was crossing the road to catch Al-Eisha prayer, I was with my friends playing around with our bikes, so we decided to go to the mosque so we can pray Al-Eish'a, while crossing when the light was red for the traffic and green for us to cross, I crossed first but while I was crossing the third lane, I saw a bright light on my left, and all i can remember is my bike thrown to about 30 meters away from me and me landing on the rare glass, and falling down the hood down to the street, while bleeding all over my face.

At that time I didn't realize what happened to me, but I saw the driver carrying me and taking me to the hospital, what's really weird that I was still conscious, so when we reached the hospital and started to walk to the ER, I see people in the entrance pointing at me and looking scared, and all I could see was red things all around me, because my face was covered with blood and it was spilling down to the floor.

At the ER I got all my wounds and scars sawed it was really painful, after a while my friends arrived there, then shortly after my parents arrived, and my mom was praying for me, and she was all cried out, because of what happened to me, but thank-God, I was all fine except for the scars that were all around my eye(which you can probably still see all over my face, lol), I stayed in the hospital for about a week, I received so many gifts and get-well cards, and so many people that I knew and I don't visited me, It was really great to have some people around me, to be there for me when I'm depressed or frustrated.

After I was out of hospital, I couldn't walk for a while, because my leg was broken, and it took me a good while to walk normally again, during that time I kept remembering how god gave me a second chance, and it wasn't my name yet, that's why I'm trying to cherish everyday, cause you never know what or when you're gonna lose someone close to you, who knows that person might be you, all you can do is just be thankful to God for every moment that you're having. I'd like to quote a line from Alicia Keys's song where she says:"I don't want to forget the present is a gift, and I don't want to take for granted the time you may have here with me, cause Lord only knows another day here's not really guaranteed."

  1. What a fateful day! These kinds of accidents are hard to avoid. You were lucky indeed! I am glad you got lessons from that day. As they say, life lessons are most often the hardest to learn and the hardest to teach.
    Excellent post!
