Happily Ever After?
Well, at least for some time. They planned to live together in Georgia nearby their friends and family, after their wedding in December. Mr. and Mrs. Davis now led a perfect life for some time, they could not get enough of each other and were always found in each others’ company. It hadn’t even been a year of knowing each other when their perfect world was torn apart, thread by thread.
7 Months Later
7 months is not a long time for a couple to be married. The tragedy struck the Davis household in just 7 months of their marriage. They vowed ‘for better or for worse’ and that was what was put to test with this life-altering event. Their life changed forever when Matt went out on his bike that uneventful day.
The Tragic Incident
Matt was on his way to work as usual, in July 2011. That day, a car was illegally parked on the highway in the merging lane. His motorcycle brutally crashed into that car, as can be seen from the picture. The accident was horrifying and Matt barely escaped death. But Danielle could not breathe a sigh of relief. Because the next worse thing happened to Matt.
A Comma In Their Lives
The accident left Matt with broken bones in various parts of his body and due to severe head injury, Matt was put into a coma. According to stats- there are close to 4,000 motorcycle-related deaths every year and the most common cause of those are traumatic and severe head injuries. These stats are scary and the accident proved to be a comma in the happy sentence of Danielle and Matt’s lives.
Doctors Gave Up
Danielle was obviously heartbroken and at that point in time, she needed support. The doctors did the opposite. They told her in 90% of such cases, the patient never survives and it was not practical of her to keep hoping. They thought that Matt too will not survive but what happened next surprised even the best of the doctors.
Her Own Support System
The short span of less than a year that Danielle spent with Matthew was enough for her to fight the world for him. She refused to believe the doctors and showed phenomenal strength in handling the entire situation. From her faith birthed a miracle, but it also came with a curse.
