Did you have an after-life experience when you were dead for 5 minutes? If so, I would like to give you an anonymouse email address you can reach me at, if you don't mind.
> Gaza, Yes, I can expound. Life, as in alive, living, breathing. Seeing all around us and having the chance to be able to enjoy all that we have. Keyword being "having the chance." Not always do we feel we have the chance. But being positive , I said,"Life is here for us."
> I died for 5 minutes Oct 10th 2001 from a pulmonary embolism. That was not my choice. Since then I have wanted to die 3 times by choice. However, Lexapro has helped me finally realize I don't want to die, I have too much in this life to live for. My brain is still not where it was 3 yrs ago, but ,heck, should that stop me from being a Mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister? Should it stop me from being Ruthie? It stops me from remembering when my doctor appts are unless I write them down on my calender, it keeps me from driving more than 30 miles(if it's a good day), it keeps me from forgetting peoples name I just met a few minutes ago, it makes me I put something on the stove and I leave the room and I burn something. BUT, I go to Kings Island with my kids and husband. I go swimming with my family. We play games. I can still cook and not burn things. LOL We live in a town where Walmart and Kroger is within a mile. I take my dog for a walk. I order Freebies off the internet and give them to neighbors and friends. And I 'adopted' a family for Christmas so they would have a good Christmas this year.
> Life? Living, breathing, alive. Look around.
> I hope I expounded enough. If not, I'm sure I can do more. LOL
> Have a great night !!!!
> Ruthie
