I find myself at home writing this about my life. I’m day 4 into having Covid-19 for the first time and it has been a battle. While I have been sick with flu like symptoms many thoughts and reflections have been coming in. Thankful for having a supportive partner while I do my best to rest and recover from this illness.

Some of the thoughts I have been having are about my child and how my partner is taking such excellent care of our 6 month old. She is a incredible woman who can do anything and the love I have for her runs deep. At the same time I miss my child, I cannot hold him for 10 days according to his pediatrician. He is growing so quickly and I feel I am missing out on so much. Soon things will change for the better.

This flu like sickness that is Covid-19 hit me pretty hard. The body aches and the migraine that has accompanied it has been horrific. I am not normally a person to complain about pain but it is a annoyance that it feels a bit worse, than what I can normally handle. You see back in May 5th of 2022 I was hit head on in a car crash. I was traveling southbound on a road and someone came over the painted median and hit me going about +65mph, I was going at least 45 mph. The accident almost killed me multiple times… They had to cut me out with the jaws of life. Long story compressed, many injuries to my spine body and brain has made recovery difficult. This Covid has made me feel like I was in the crash all over again, from the constant aches and migraine.

I know I am lucky to be alive, and to be able to see my son born. Tomorrow is a new day for new achievement. Tomorrow the sun will rise and I also intend too. So I say to you, lead with love for your fellow man, and don’t drink and drive.
