Last year I unfortunately came very close to dying. I was driving home from work and was hit head on by a drunk driver. At the time I was dating two women, and neither was really that serious a relationship. Well, in the accident, I had suffered some severe trauma and spent about 5 weeks in a coma. It is by the way true that you see a light and relive experiences and see people who have passed on before you. I just needed to say that because I never really believed that those things happened until they happened to me. Also, people who are in a coma can feel human touch and hear what is being said to them and what is going on around them. During the period of time that I was in the coma, the one woman Beth that I was dating came to my bedside just about every day. She brought me lots of fresh flowers and there were several florists who came in and delivered flowers to me. I can't tell you what an incredible thing it was to be surrounded by flowers and love during what I like to refer to as my time away. I think it must be true what they say about some senses being heightened while others are failing, because all I can tell you is that even though I couldn't see anything that was going on around me, I could hear everything, and I could definitely smell the flowers. I know all this sounds really strange and if you don't believe me, I can't really say I blame you, as I myself have never believed any of these coma, near death experiences people talked about before today.

Any way since my near death experience, I have a new outlook on life. I love to stop and smell the flowers, and once I was able to walk and talk again, I asked Beth to marry me, and she said yes. Things are looking up for me, and we will be married next month, and there will be lots of flowers. We didn't choose to just use one florist, however, we chose to use all three of the florists who had made the flower deliveries during my hospital stay. We felt it was only right to include all the people who helped us get to where we are today.
