I wrote this as I battled for wellness after a seizure which caused a coma and left me regaining my ability to read, write, perform mathmatics and communicate pre-condition. Later I had an ALS patient, in the final weeks of her struggle, who would have me read this over and over to her. Upon the first reading, I noticed tears streaming down her face and asked her if I should stop. She explained in a voice only heard through her breathing tube that she was crying because she never thought anyone understood. She said I needed to share with others. I am finally honoring her request.
