My sister is a Paris Hilton wannabe. I make this statement affectionately, perhaps even admiringly. She's a beautiful girl known for her intelligence, motivation and talent. Sadly, early in 2004, she was in a horrendous car accident and her life was reduced to ruins.
A one-ton truck made an illegal left turn in front of her. The vehicles collided and the jaws of life were used to rescue my sister from her demolished vehicle. She suffered a broken back, shattered kneecaps, broken arm and ankle and a brain injury. Life as she knew - as we all knew it - was thereby officially over.
Since that time, my sister has become what she termed 'a walking car accident'. Our whole family has been shaken and very nearly destroyed by this catastrophe. Many times I've feared that my sister would take her own life as her condition seemed to worsen and her future seemed to grow darker as the months passed.
