I apologize for not writing for a long time. I am going through emotional and physical changes that have me in a quiet zone. My dad used to call it the silence of the soul. In silence we can listen to God speak to us. I am working to find my way back to myself. It has been two years since I suffered my near death experience. Then my body has changed for the mega weight loss 180 pounds, my physical abilities that I am still recovering from. I know for sure that I have not given up. One thing that I lost was my ability to read books. I couldn’t concentrate on them. It felt too much. I still love books. This felt like my heart was ripped out. Thankfully, I am getting it back.
I won “It’s Only Drowning” by David Litt months ago. I finally finished it. I had to read it slowly. I enjoyed it, because he talks about the waves, the ocean, and surfing. A bit of a secret about myself, I have always wanted to surf or paddle board. I have never done it. I might not ever get to because of my trach tube. I can still dream. I love the fact that David tries to connect with his brother in law Matt, who is different than he is. I love how this new relationship unfolds and respect forms between the two men. It shows that we can have different opinions, different views, but there are things that are the same and we should focus on that. For David and Matt that is surfing that keeps them talking and building a relationship. There is more to this memoir, I will let you discover its secrets.
