Hello Janine here. Many of you have asked for me to tell you about the accident that cost me the use of my legs. I have decided to tell you now.
The planet Kubota is 90% water. It only has one land mass, an island named Kubo. . Kubo stretches out 100 miles long, 200 miles wide, and has a horseshoe shaped cove in the middle on its west side. The inhabitants of Kubo have pointed ears, razor sharp pointed teeth. and could both live on the land and in the water when needed to. Normally a peace loving, gentle planet. With plants and wildlife of great beauty and majesty, Then the invasion happened.
An alien race of greater power and technology forced its way into the peaceful lives of the inhabitants. We found out later that the invaders had made deals with space pirates and the space mafia to keep them supplied with weapons. The attack was brutal and intense and fast, taking the peace loving people by storm.
Now the inhabitants do know how to defend themselves, and have a militia for times such as this, but they knew they were out matched as well as outgunned. So they sent out a distress signal for the help of the galactic army. When we arrived on the planet much had already fallen due to the fight.
A few months after joining the fight, and shortly before the end of the war. We got word that there was a bomb in the Elementary school. It was a one story building made of brick. Two of my fellow soldiers and myself entered the school. While they went in search of the bomb, I went throughout the school sounding the alarm, and getting people out. Just as I was bring a little one out I tripped and fell in the entrance tossing the child into the air. The small child was caught by a fellow soldier and thus was safe
I on the other hand got buried beneath a pile of rubble because the bomb had gone off and the entire entrance way came down around me. I was buried and knocked out cold. When I woke up again I was in a medical hospital. The Dr. on staff told me I was lucky to be alive, but then said that my legs had been crushed by the weight, and that I would never walk again. A fellow soldier that was at the site said that the two soldiers who went into the school with me. Didn’t make it out before the blast. But did tell me that most of the kids and staff made it out safe
I was awarded the “Infinity badge of Honor'' for my efforts and declared a hero. In my acceptance speech I thanked them for the honor, but stated that I didn’t feel much like a hero. My two fellow soldiers who did not make it out of the school. They were the true heroes. The few students and staff who went back inside the school. Looking for people trapped inside, and thus not getting out before the explosion. They were the real heroes. I was just lucky.
The next few months after leaving the hospital I fell into a deep depression. I stayed with my friend Brenda and her husband. Brenda and I talked a lot. I kept telling her that I know I am engaged to be married to Charlie, but that was when I could walk. I really started to doubt if Charlie would want to marry someone in a wheelchair. Brenda kept encouraging me and told me that Charlie loved me and always would no matter what.
Despite all her good talk, my emotions spun out of control.
Then one day there came a knock on Brenda’s front door. Brenda answered the door then told me I had a visitor. Charlie walked into the living room, I was shocked to see him. He sat down in the chair next to me, took my hand, looked me in the eyes, and told me that he loved me, and that he missed me, and he had been counting the days till my return. He also said that he could understand the doubts I had about him accepting me, but told me that those thoughts were fruitless and that he still wanted to get married to me. I told Charlie that I was ready to go home.
Charlie and I went back to my dad’s Restaurant together. Planning for the wedding went into full swing. Mom and dad were shocked to see me in the wheelchair, and had a million questions for me, but I asked them to respect the fact that I did not wish to talk about it at the time.
Finally the day of the wedding came, dad pushed me down the aisle, and gave his little girl to be married. Charlie even sat in a chair during the service so he didn’t have to bend down to kiss me. story)
