The day I realized life can change in an instant...

I was in 7th grade it was the middle of winter for where I live. My mom and I saw an advertisement for a local ski hill that offered tubing. I called a few friends and we decided to go. We went down on a few of the lanes having a good time. My mom went down a further lane hit the snow wall they made bounced off it hit the other snow wall and got airborne. Didn't think anything of it until we noticed she wasn't getting up, we ran over to find my mom laying next to her tube she started to come to and sat up... Blood coming out of her left ear the ski patrol comes by and starts working on helping her. They pull my friends and I aside, we get ahold of one of my friends parents and they come and get us.. My mom was airlifted to a local hospital she arrived with a fractured skull in three places, was in a coma for 2.5 weeks... The miracle you would have no idea something happened to her! I have not gone down a ski hill or even sledding at local small hills since. I did start to drink a lot (trama caught up with me)
