This comment is pretty much “Tell me you haven’t stared your death, or a loved ones, right in the face without saying it.”
There is a “before” and an “after” regardless of if you survive this type of thing or not. As the parent of a kid that had cancer (in remission a few months ago) we absolutely have those thoughts in those ways.
- sdwr 3y agoI was violently beaten by a homeless(?) man under a bridge a few years back. I still remember the feeling of losing consciousness with each blow to the head. Going out was painful, but each time I "rebooted", I had a fierce joy for being alive. When his friend pulled him off me, I thanked him. For not killing me, sure, but also for showing me the boundary of life.
