I am Alive

When I was sixteen, I was racing three wheeler Honda ATCs with my brother. I came up behind him just as he turned in, and I went up, into the air, and fell off the ATC as it soared... I landed on the gravel, and the ATC came right down landed on me, and bounced clear off of me, bounced a couple of more times, and fell in the ditch.

I got up, and looked around for my body, assuming I was dead, as I knew what happened when ATCs flipped. But I didn't see my body anywhere. As I felt my nose trickle, I realized I was actually alive.

I am alive today. But I know what it is like to die in an accident, and I take nothing for granted. I realize now I was given a miracle that day, one of many.
