What have you been putting off doing? Why?

Eight years ago I had a stroke , a heart attack, a brain aneurysm , and was in a coma the doctor told my wife I was either going to die our id never regain consciousness again. I was some where else it was white every where but not like a white you may see, if you did it would cause blindness. Iwas like in two places I could feel people trying to get a response from me, but I didn’t want to respond, I heard people talk but it was like Charlie Brown’s teacher I could not understand, except for Mary Ann, I could hear her clearly reading to me talking to me, she would squeeze my hand but I could not squeeze back then one day in this white fog, I heard Mary Ann crying I had to get back to her I could not just die I had to come back to her. It had been a week and she squeeze my hand this time I manage to lightly squeeze back .

Something changed my eyes popped open my wife screamed NURSE!!

I said please don’t cry I love you , I asked where I was and how we’re the dogs, I was sitting up on my own the room filled with people ball murmuring it’s a miracle I was soon standing and answering a barrage of questions finally the cardiologist asked do you know where your at ?

Some where between heaven and hell I answered.

Close enough he said.

So I put off dying and being a vegetable to spend more time with my wife.
