Son Of The Sea: Rising, Healing & Still Me
By: Dylan Sandhu
Imagine being eighteen and on top of the world-college, cars, sports, parties, friends, concerts-everything at your fingertips. Then, in a matter of seconds, it’s all taken away.
One ordinary day on the basketball court changed my life forever. A spontaneous bleed in a rare part of my brain stole my ability to talk, walk, smile, and move. I had to rebuild myself inch by inch. And just when I was ready to walk again-nine months later-another brain bleed struck, this time leaving me paralyzed on my left side.
My body has been at war while my mind stays sharp. Reconnecting the two for the past three years has been exhausting-but I’m still here. Still fighting.
This is a story of perseverance, faith, and resilience. Of learning to believe when there’s no reason to, of finding light in the darkest times, and of choosing hope-again and again. Somehow, through this storm, I’m still me.
