There is no replacement. Machinery and technology could not make it better.
Fourteen steps is all it took for a life altering experience. Steps used often. Had complacency set in? Perhaps destiny was making a statement to see how much strength was left in the soul.
That moment, the time when a simple step downwards changed everything forever. Normalcy shattered in a heartbeat. The hearing loss, balance marred, memories tainted; all in the split second it took to fall from the highest spot on the stairs.
So much was stolen on that day. The gift of life was not.
