On October 26, 2010 I had a MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT that left me unable to take care of myself, to do My Job at Boeing-Charleston and to get the necessary documentations needed to stay-on MAKING AIRPLANES. Eventually, I was "let go" January 5th, 2011.
I left quietly--i knew i couldn't do it anymore without support and something was wrong. (LITERALLY, I did not know my left from right-hand and couldn't command movement at times, was dizzy and off-balance. I SLEPT FOR MONTHS, COULD NOT SPEAK NOR THINK PROPERLY AND WAS VERY DEPRESSED.)But, I believed that FAITH, my commitment to Quality, passion and my belief in the Boeing Dream would eventually get me back.
Since then, I have done everything possible to recuperate, to get-up, to move & bend my limbs and to get through the disappointment of losing what was important to me. I went home to Roatan, the Bay Islands of Honduras in the Caribbean where I'm from--i swam daily (and sometimes at Night so to not get attention) and i eventually got my physical & mental strength back.
Then, I decided to go to SEATTLE, WA & to Everett, WA to be surrounded by EVERYTHING BOEING so that i would not lose FAITH. BUT what I GOT was the AWESOME CASCADE MOUNTAINS, THE SNOHOMISH RIVER with dying Salmon stranded upstream, WALKS FOR HUNGER AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.I didn't get my job back, but i got the NEW LIFE i wanted. GOD GAVE ME STRENGHT AND THIS BEAUTIFUL NATURE TO APPRECIATE.
FRIENDS...THANK YOU!
