| Grace Carpenter My Happy Stroke |
- On February 2, 2010, I had a stroke when I was 45.
- The origins of my brain hemorrhage are a mystery.
- I have two children, who were 4 and 7 at the time, a wonderful husband, and a great nuclear and extended family.
- Some say I was a little happier after my stroke.
- Having a stroke is no fun, but the parade of family and friends has kept me going.

| Jeff Porter Stroke of Faith |
- My own stroke came on May 8, 1998. A colleague and I, both newspaper reporters, were digging through documents in a semi-hostile government office in Arkansas. I suddenly lost the ability to speak and movement on the right side of my body. My right hand fell limp. I could not stand.
- Thanks to the doctors and nurses, a drug called tissue plasminogen activator cleared the clot. Thanks to my wife, colleagues, fellow believers, and a speech therapist, I regained my ability to speak and, eventually, write.
- I live in Columbia, Missouri, United States.
