Seven Fingers

JOYPEACE

============= In response to "Little Red Corvette." -------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever really sat back and realized the things we take for granted? I did. The date was March 20,2002. I was at work (I'm a supervisor) training one of my new girls on a machine. We make speaker covers. The machine was an air press that trims the part before it is shipped to major companies. Unfortunately for me, she wasn't paying attention. In a split second, my life was changed forever. I lost three fingers in that accident, on my dominant hand. The surgeon was able to replant them, but a year later, I lost my index finger once again. As it stands now, I may lose the other two as well. Being a single mother of two girls, it was really tough doing everyday things that I've come to realize we take for granted; tying shoes, changing diapers, washing dishes with one hand, sweeping the floors, drying my hair, ...you get the picture. I still have seven fingers. Always remember to count your blessings and to thank GOD for all that you have, regardless of how small it may seem. HE has certainly blessed my family and me. Without HIM, I would have never gotten through this tragedy. ~By Theresa Sweeney, Fountain Hill, AR~
