LANSING, MICHIGAN: FEBRUARY 1995
THE FIRST time Astrid Hill experienced death, she was only a few hours old. Little eyes closed, and a heart beating unevenly in her chest.
The second time Astrid experienced death, she was six, lying in the ICU after her final open-heart surgery had complications, and the doctors were unsure if she was going to pull through.
Thankfully, Astrid had made it, though it was a miracle she had apparently, according to the nurses who whispered about her when they thought she was asleep. The little girl's parents had always told her that this was something to be proud of, that she was their brave little warrior and had fought to survive. However, at 7 years old, Astrid was convinced this was not something to brag about because Lindsay Graham said so, and Lindsay Graham was the most popular girl in 2nd grade. According to Lindsay, Astrid shouldn't tell people about her scars because girls shouldn't have scars or be proud of them. Astrid's Daddy said Lindsay was full of shit and knew nothing when Astrid informed him of this fact, and Mommy told Daddy off for using a bad word and made him apologise.
