For those of you that made it out to the game this past Saturday – Thanks for making it an awesome day and I hope you had a great time! It was a long day!..but a gorgeous one. It started with being on the field during batting practice and ended with returning to the field for the 50 Cent concert…with a bunch of other treats in between. Here are some pics from the day…

Although the Mets didn’t win, it was so amazing to be surrounded by all that love and support. I have some pretty awesome family and friends.
I also made it on TV!..exciting and embarrassing…but here’s the link for those that want to see it.

Ever since my accident, I’ve had encounters that show me how small the world really is. While being escorted onto the field for the concert Saturday evening, a gentleman who works for the Mets came up to me and asked if I remembered him. His face looked familiar but I couldn’t quite place it. He then said that his son and I went to NYU together. I probably had a very confused expression on my face at this point because I was thinking to myself, “I didn’t go to school at NYU and I doubt there’s another Asian woman amputee out there who’s my twin”. I mean, really, what are the odds?!? And I guess from the quizzical expression on my face he felt he needed to elaborate because he then said, “You were at NYU Rusk the same time my son was…” HOLY CRAP. OMG! So, the wheels finally starting turning and I remembered. His son was in a car accident and had both his legs amputated above the knee and was at NYU Rusk for rehab while I was there for rehab as well. I didn’t get to speak to him and catch up during our brief encounter but he was able to tell me that his son was doing well and had just received his prosthetics. That was awesome to hear. I reached out to my Mets contact and asked if they could provide me with his contact info. They did. Can’t wait to find out how his son is doing. Such a small world.
