"When I came out of my coma, nothing I had before was mine any longer, my intellect, my physical abilities, my career, my whole identity was gone. All I had left were the people in my life. I treasured that, ... my life didn’t begin until they walked into my room ... my face would light up ... it’s magic ... it’s real ... I must shrug the weight of the world off my shoulders and choose loads I can manage ... I will err on the side of forgiveness. I will do my best, and I will forgive myself when I fail."
