As fast as lightning strikes by Stroke Survivor Aaron Avila

(I took this from my original "Aaron's Stroke Chronicles Blog" I wrote several years ago).

I experienced a cataclysmic life event.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

I took everything in my life for granted.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

You ripped my heart out and gave me a new heart.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

My life as I knew it was gone forever.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

You humbled me like no other can.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

Stroke has stripped me to the core of who I am as a man.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

You robbed me of all my abilities.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

WAIT! STROKE ACTUALLY WAS A BLESSING DISGUISED AS A BAD THING!



My eyes to absolute truth have been opened.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

I have met the most amazing
people on planet earth ... stroke survivors!
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

I can't walk yet I circle the globe.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

You taught me what a grateful heart truly is.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

I have learned what true love is.
As fast as lightning strikes
I became a stroke survivor.

We get only one chance at life on planet earth. (Well I got two)
Don't take your life for granted like I did!
AS FAST AS LIGHTNING IT CAN BE GONE!
