Right after the accident I felt like I was at the bottom of the world. I lost my uncle, I almost died, and he went above and beyond to be there for me. I was in the hospital for 29 days, 8 of which I was unconscious. When I finally came to and I could barely move, I called him in the morning and before the sun went down he was there answering my questions and telling me that everything was going to be ok.
