"How could this be happening to me"
There Anna stood in the doorway looking as lovely as ever with a big smile of joy beaming upon her face! Not only was she beautiful but she was talented and intelligent as well. It had been one of Anna's fondest memories when she was younger she recalled of wanting to have a family of her very own and know it was all about to come true!

A year ago she settled down and married the man of her dreams! They had an extravagant and amazing wedding and spent their honeymoon in Paris. She recently just finished law school and know that she was expecting twins thought that all her dreams would soon finally be complete. Her husband was finishing up the nursery! He took another look at it then said, "Honey, What do you think?" She walked over to him and looks him in his eyes and with anticipation and such delight said "Baby its perfect!!

One week later she received a phone call to interview with one of the most prestigious law firms in their city! They asked her if she could come in the same day and though the weather was bad and she knew her husband would have wanted her to wait she did not want to miss out on the opportunity so she did not dare say no!!

She took her shower, threw on one of her sharpest suits and then grabbed her portfolio and cell phone as she anxiously heads out the door. When she arrived the two top firm layers were waiting to greet her. They were so pleased with her expertise and the way the interview went she was hired right on the spot! She gets into the car and excited to tell Tom about the news dials him immediately that she fails to notice the stop sign and a semi truck that was already proceeding in the intersection came smashing dead into her little corvette!!

The Ambulance rushes her to the hospital and Tom dashes to be by her side!

For four days Anna lays in a comma helpless and limb! When she starts coming around she begins to ask questions like, "Where am I, what happened and how are the baies doing?" She erratically begins screaming at the nurse and the doctor has to come in and sedate her! No one wants to be the first to inform her of the bad news. Not only was she permanently paralyzed but the twins did not survive!! She lays there hopeless and silently still thinking, "How could this be happening to me?" And it was then at that very moment she realized her life had drastically changed forever!!
