YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN YOUR 'TIME' IS GOING TO COME.
YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN
GOD IS GOING TO SHAKE YOU AND GIVE YOU A VIOLENT WAKE- UP CALL.
AND YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN
WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN YOU'RE HANGING ONTO YOUR LIFE
BY A TINY, FRAYED THREAD, BEGGING GOD TO SHOW YOU MERCY
AS EVERYONE AROUND YOU PREPARES TO SAY THEIR GOODBYES.
BUT I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE. I'VE BEEN SO CLOSE TO DEATH
THAT I COULD SEE AND HEAR THINGS THAT ARE OTHERWISE UNIMAGINABLE.
MY BODY HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO WHAT FELT LIKE A MILLION PIECES
I WAS SO VERY CLOSE TO LEAVING MY FAMILY BEHIND ME;
WITH JUST A MEMORY OF WHAT I USED TO BE.
AND I COULD HEAR THE DOCTORS AS THEY TRIED TO CONSOLE MY FAMILY.
AND IN MY VERY FINAL MOMENTS OF PAIN AND DESPERATION
BY GRACE ALONE- MY LIFE WAS SPARED.
MY NAME IS LYNDE. AND THIS IS MY STORY.
