Never

“Never shall I forget that day, the day my life should change forever, when I heard my doctor speak words I never thought l’d hear.
Never shall I forget that feeling of dread.
Never shall I forget the look on everyone’s faces when those words were spoken, the look of disbelief.
Never shall I forget the smell of the sterile air in the hospital unit as I walked in on my two legs for perhaps the last time.
Never shall I forget feeling for my leg only for nothing to be there.
Never shall I forget the awful taste in my mouth as the chemicals flow through my vessels.
Never shall I forget those moments that have since defined my future. Never.”
