Autorenporträt
Gabe Alvarado defied all the odds and survived an industrial explosion that should have taken his life. He lost half of his left arm and both ears. Third-degree burns covered 60% of his body. Gabe's chances of surviving such an incredible accident where slim to none. Doctors predicted a minimum of two year's hospital stay. Everyone thought he would never work again, much less come out of this experience alive. The early morning industrial accident at the refinery in Corpus Christie, Texas, where he had been working for over 2 years, was not supposed to happen. He had taken all the proper precautions, dutifully wearing protective gear and attending regularly scheduled safety meetings. Gabe had been doing what he understood were all the right precautionary moves. But the unthinkable happened. He spent six months in the hospital, experiencing unbearable pain in rehabilitation and recovery. Friends, co-workers, neighbors, and his entire family stood by him as he slowly made a comeback and got back on his feet. Together with his wife, Precious Alvarado, he shares a story of determination and triumph. A compelling memoir about the many lessons they learned in faith, patience, physical and emotional pain, while adapting to living a "new normal" life. Today, Gabe is an inspirational safety speaker and a together with Precious, they also own a franchise, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Corpus Christi, Texas. He continues to work at the refinery, promoting a safety conscious environment in the workplace. Precious continues to work at the AT&T job she has held for many years.
