What is a Miracle?
Winning the lottery?
Picking up a heads-up penny?
A granted 11:11 wish?
Canceled class?
A promotion?
No.
Those are miracles.
What is a Miracle?
An A on a test?
Winning the “big game”?
Having a secret admirer?
Nope.
Still miracles.
So what defines a Miracle?
What makes the big M?
Where can I buy it?
Where does it come from?
A Miracle is experiencing
Love at First Sight
Getting kissed on the forehead
when the rain trickles down your blushed cheeks
A Miracle is hearing someone
Sing out loud to their favorite song in the car
Unafraid and Unabandoned
A Miracle is hearing one’s
“Dorky Laugh”
with the Snort in it
A Miracle is being faced with your own Mortality
and being given a Second Chance.

This is dedicated to the one whom my soul loves. I wrote this on April 1, 2013.
Early that week, I received news that my boyfriend was in a life-threatening, long boarding accident, an accident where we thought we lost him. Now over months later, he is driving, owning and running his own business, and attending school in the fall.
Miracles do happen, with a capital 'M.'
And for any skater, biker, long boarder, cycler, roller blader, bmx-er, and ANY extreme sport... Please, please, please, wear a helmet. Despite what our culture may say otherwise. Please. From someone who almost lost the most beautiful, loving person in my life because he decided not to wear a helmet. Please. It WILL save your life.
