StayingPositiveMy friend Maggie Mason is a good example of someone that can stay positive during incredible trials and hard-ships. Maggie is one of my best friends and we consider each other family. If you look at her, you wouldn’t know she suffers from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). She is the sweetest, happiest person I know. She is kind and patient and I’m so grateful for her example of being positive in my life.

Maggie was married for 3 months when her husband Brad and her were in a fatal car accident. Brad died instantly and Maggie’s fate wasn’t much better off. She was in a coma for 3 weeks after the accident and wasn’t able to attend her husband’s funeral. Any organ that could explode and kill her was removed. She had people praying for her daily that she would survive the horrendous accident. Maggie’s re-covery was miraculous. She was able to talk and walk when doctors thought she would never be able to feed herself. Maggie doesn’t remember much about the accident or the weeks shortly after but she has the tracheotomy scare to remind her of her loss.

Word of the accident reached one of her friends from home, Nate Mason. Nate and Maggie had dated before he left on his mission to Germany. While Nate was on his mission Maggie was married to Brad. When Nate found out about her tragic loss he reached out to her. Nate re-turned to their hometown in New Mexico and was happy to reconnect with Maggie. Within a year Maggie and Nate were married.

Maggie has had to endure loss at such a young age. Mag-gie lost her mom at 8 years old to cancer. Maggie’s dad remarried and she regards her stepmother as her mother. To a growing child losing a parent is devastating.

Maggie never feels less than. She is incredibly grateful for her life and her family. Currently Maggie and Nate have 2 boys and live in Pleasanton, California. She is always so happy and positive through it all. She never wallows in the pain of her loses. She is always so upbeat and fun to be around. I love being with Maggie because she makes me put things in perspective. Whenever she says something out of context or something that doesn’t make sense she’ll jokingly blame it on her TBI. She is happy and funny and her laughter is contagious.

Maggie would never blame Heavenly Father for her trials. She is grateful for the plan of salvation and the opportunity to see those she loves so much again.

What do you do when life throws you a trial? Do you blame Heavenly Father? Do you ask “why me”? Do you think your trial could’ve been avoided if you had just done something different-

ly? These questions aren’t the best way to approach a tough life situation. The best way to approach life is to stay positive.
