First giving honor to God for saving me. Thank you for allowing me to see another day and allowing my voice to be heard.

I would like to give thanks to my mother Ronnett, my grandmother Betty and my great grandma Madea. Thanks for the conversations and encouraging words. Thanks for supporting me through everything journey life has lead me. I love you all more than words can explain.

To my aunts, great aunts, uncles and relatives, thank you for being by side and helping me overcome the darkest chapter in my life.

To my siblings Sophia, Camellia, Loriel, Malisa, Anthony and Michael

I had an IV bag in my right arm and blood was being drawn from my left.

They used the IV to flush out my system.

“You’re really lucky they found you when they did” said the lady nurse.

I looked around the room trying to focus my eyes on everything that was happening.

“You have a waiting room full of loved ones, but only one can come back” she continued.

“I’m sorry, please forgive me” I cried to no in particular.

The nurse stopped what she was doing and came to my bedside and spoke, “it is okay, there is no need to be sorry, calm down, you’re safe now.” She said hugging me.

I had dozed off.

There was no stop movement going on in my room. There were police officers, the paramedics and hospital staff. They were asking me all types of questions I could not answer.

They wanted to know if this was my first suicide attempt. Did anyone assist me in my attempt? Did I know my name, my date of birth, todays date? The questions kept coming.

I began to cry. Why was they treating me like I am crazy, of course I know my name, of course I know my date of birth, but the one thing I didn’t know was whether it was night or day, Monday or

    Today is our chance to say "thank you" for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.…

    I would like to thank everyone that has shown their support, encouragement, sympathy, love, and prayers towards the sudden passing of my beloved grandpa from last week. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as my family goes through this new season of life. This year's Memorial Day definitely attached a different meaning to it. My grandpa was given Military Honors at the cemetery as he served in the Army in between the Korean and Vietnam War. It brought great pride, joy, and honor for him to be able to served. Thank you for those who had served and are currently serving. It is because of you that we have our freedom and liberty.…

    The initial chaos of the emergency lasted merely an hour. Saline fluid filled my veins and computerized tomography scans sliced coronal views of my brain. I tried to relieve my anxiety by pretending that I was on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy- a director would call cut, the fear would subside, and the scene would end. I did not understand that I was facing a serious medical emergency that the doctors could not solve. I tried to muster the strength to move my lower extremities. My focus moved from the doctors’ confused faces to the people who stood in front of me. My family, gripping the spooks of the bed, reminded me that I should not compare the situation to an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I realized that a director would not conclude the day with an oration on the success of our TV segment. Rather, a neurosurgeon would come in the room and tell me that I possibly had a stroke and that I had severe head trauma in the form of a concussion.…

    I was being rolled down to the x-ray room after my 13 hour long hip surgery. Every bounce and movement of the cart sent searing pain through my body. It was all i could do to not cry and yell but as we rolled and stopped the pain stopped. We were in a room filled with equipment and two people deep in conversation. Janet ,the first nurse, was talking. “Last saturday i got my nails done and they're super cute. And then today i broke my nail helping a patient. Ugh this job sucks”. “I know right” replied the second nurse “ I literally hate it here”. At this point I was being rolled onto my side so that the nurse could put an x-ray plate down under me and the conversation wasn’t filling me with confidence. I wanted to yell at them to stop talking.…

    “Hello, Elizabeth, I am your nurse, nurse Johnson, you were in a car accident and you are now at Hackley Hospital.” I was listening to what she was saying but I could not comprehend her words. My head was pounding and my right leg felt like I had a thousand needles stabbing into it. I tried to sit up but my entire body ached, I felt like I had been crushed by a ton of bricks.…

    I was lead to a bed and told to lay down and relax, but how was I supposed to relax when I was about to lose a pint of my blood! I kept reminding myself that I was going to save three lives, which seemed to calm me down. Blood fell through the tube and into the blood bag as I turned to my friend, her blood was going fast; mine seemed to be taking a lifetime. Staring at the ceiling, stars started to appear as my body laid on the bed paralyzed. Just as I passed the halfway mark, nurses started whispering and then turned to me to say that my blood stopped pumping…
