A triumphant story ...

Last November I posted something here about Brian Hickey, a Philly-based freelance writer (and my old chum from the U of Delaware) who was left for dead by a hit-and-run driver. Well, the response was pretty powerful, so I wanted to share the below link—Hickey's first article since the accident. It's a piece on his experiences, and, personally, I loved it. Many of us really believe Hickey would either die or remain in a coma. A staggering comeback ...

Thanks.

Powerful stuff, Jeff. Thanks for posting.

 

Outstanding article, and this was my favorite part -- sheer honesty:

 

Great, great read. All of us who think we've had a past rough year can learn something ...

"He doesn’t care that he can’t access some of the memories; he just considers them sources that won’t talk."

 

bravo!!

and welcome back, brian! ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

Wow. That was a great story, period. But to think of where the guy was just five months ago? Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

The part about his buddy having to explain his text to his dad was great.

 

Brian Hickey, you rock. Shockey said it: Welcome back!

Thanks for passing along the great news, Jeff.

 

Brian Hickey gets my vote as 2009 Time Magazine Man of the Year. Awesome story.
