The Weight of My Miracle.

I have completed the first draft of the book depicting the events around my heart attacks. The second draft should comprise of fleshing out what I’ve written and including accounts from my husband, Chris Hall, my mother-in-law, Patty Hall, and my ER Cardiologist, Dr. Nassir Azimi.

I’m proud that I could finish the first draft in the time that I did. In my diminished state, I still manage to care for my ailing mother and aunt, support my household, and manage my own self care.

Asking my family and Dr. Azimi is more than a simple favor. By asking them to contribute, I am asking them to relive one of the worst times in their lives and to come to terms with an experience they all consider a miracle.

I collected the courage to read the passage from my mother-in-law, whom I call “mom”. Her account added perspective, one I knew I wasn’t ready to face. In her years as a nurse in the ER, I would have not been revived three times. The likelihood of brain damage and other health issues would be too great. What was done for me at Sharp Grossmont Hospital was uncommon. I am pleased their hard work has permitted me to prove my worth.

Chris was afraid I would be his bride in name only. The information he had at the time only guaranteed him a vegetable for a partner. Today, we can banter and argue with the best of couples. I still have to provide disclaimers of brain damage when I’m not keeping up with the conversation. We agree that what we have is a precious gift from God and it is never taken for granted.

I am still working on raising heart disease awareness. This is the part where I must dig in and prove that I am truly committed. Once I have representation for my story, I will see where my blessing of resurrection will take me.

I need to have this story published by a company that can provide global distribution. It is too important to restrain it to self publishing and minimal production. I am open to being contacted by publishers that can help me achieve this goal.

Many blessings to all those that have supported me and will in the future.
