“Are you thankful for your brain injury?”
That’s always been a pretty regular question I’ve heard from people who know my story, people who know about my brain injury and how God’s miraculously saved, changed, and redeemed my life. But my answer to them used to be an emphatic, “No way- not even the slightest little bit!” No part of me was thankful for something that ended up leaving me without the job I knew and loved and had changed me into a person I could hardly recognize!
However, my answer today is very different.
This new answer was something I used to have a hard time explaining to people but I think I finally found the words I was looking for in this “Goodbye” letter I started writing a couple of years ago. The further I got along that day and the more I wrote, it became clear to me that I was actually writing my brain injury something that sounded a lot more like a “Thank You” letter!
