A really powerful blog:
I, as an epilepsy diagnosee and advocate with The Epilepsy Network (TEN), upon hearing of Jerry Kill didn’t think twice to want to share his story with the entire world. Jerry Kill is someone that I admire and look to as an inspiration along my very own journey with epilepsy. He never gives up. He never quits. He never throws in the towel and he vows to keep fighting on. No matter the difficulty of the struggle, no matter what some may negatively say, no matter what some may negatively think about epilepsy, it doesn’t cause him to miss a beat as he journeys on living life and inspiring those he meets. Coach Kill is without a doubt a hero.
The night of my seizures, I happened to be wearing my JERRYSOTA T-Shirt. Paramedics were kind enough to salvage what they could of the shirt however, the shirt had to be cut off.
When I had become informed that the JERRYSOTA shirt had been cut apart, of course a part of me was sad that had to happen but I understood that it was something that needed to be done. I was grateful to the Paramedics that they were kind to take in to consideration to keep the shirt in as good of condition as they were able to and too, thankful that my husband kept the shirt for me to hold onto regardless. I held the shirt in my hands with astonishment, unaware of anything that had happened leading up to my arrival at the hospital. I had made the decision that though the shirt was destroyed and no longer wearable, that I would place the pieces of cloth in a frame to be hung upon a wall as a memory. A dedication to a hero in my eyes, Coach Jerry Kill. Thinking perhaps, one day I would have the opportunity to meet Coach Kill in person. Little did I know that, that day was to be approaching sooner than I could’ve imagined!
