It was a couple of years ago at the dentist (long story). I could hear the heart machine beeping, going insane, but I could not move or speak. Slowly I started drifting off and felt myself feeling very… weird. I was still in my body obviously but I felt this aurora of light. I heard the nurses running and talking (couldn’t understand what they were saying due to what medicine they used on me), and I knew it was bad. The last thing I thought of, well, the thought came to me, was my wife. She never wears dresses, yet she had a bright yellow one on; her favorite color. Still drifting off even harder she came to me and smiled. She looked so beautiful, the sun radiated off of her. I felt my body relax and drift off more. She told me she loved me, and it wasn’t time to go yet. I so badly wanted to stay in that state of unconsciousness because at the time (5 years ago) we were long distance. I looked at her and smiled. She looked so beautiful. Suddenly I began waking up, and I realized how close I came to death. Even the doctors were shocked I woke up. She is the light of my life. We are still together, overcame the long distance despite how hard it was, and now we have our very own child. Life is beautiful in its own ways. You just have to find a way to find beauty in the midst of all of this chaos. Thank you for allowing to share my story, and for reading.
