any dark days. While other nineteen-year-old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, Sharon devoted her life to my recovery. That, to me, is the true definition of love. After our beautiful wedding I continued working part time at the Pain Center and completed my work for a master’s degree. We were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned Sharon was pregnant.
On July 11, 1990, at 12:15 a.m., Sharon woke me with the news, “We need to go to the hospital... my water just broke.” I couldn’t help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date “7-11” we were about to bring a new life into this world. This time it was my turn to help Sharon as she had helped me over those past years. She was in labor for 15 hours. At 3:10 p.m. Sharon and I experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, Shawn Elyse Segal. Tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. We anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes taking in the world about her. It was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lay in her mother’s waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. At that moment I thanked God for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all—Shawn Elyse Segal.
