Yes death is not a bad thing society needs to come to grips, with there overeactionary anxiety about death.

Death is another step into life.

Okay, let's see.....

A few days after I was born, I had jaundice, an ear infection, and my lungs weren't fully developed.

When I was four, I went on a weekend trip with my mom and preschool class to some lake/campground in Wisconsin. On the second day there, we were all at the beach and I somehow convinced my mom to let me go into the water with my teacher, to the understanding that she would watch after me. So I got in, and unfortunately, the current swept me afar. I remember that all of a sudden, I found myself struggling to breathe and trying to stay float, but couldn't, and I became sleepy and eventually felt myself slip. I woke up, on the shore, with paramedics, and the man who saved my life, standing over me. All I could hear besides people asking me was I okay, was the sound of my mother cussin' the hell outta my teacher.

At thirteen , I experienced a similar incident. I was attending sports camp at the time, and my group had swimming session. During the session, the intstructor had us doin some technique (I don't remember). But anyway, he'd given us 10 time to practice on our own (with him watching, of course!) So I grabbed a board and began my swim, but once again, before I had intended on going into the deep end of the pool, I somehow drifted and one again struggled to stay afloat. I tried to swim back to the shallow end, but failed, so I had nothin else to do but attempt to scream and/or get someone's attention. Fortunately, the instructor was nearby, and pulled me out the pool. From that time on, water has been one of my greatest phobias. I don't drink it unless I have to, and the only water I touch is the water that I bathe in/shower in everyday.

Also, just last year, I was hit, ran over by, and drugged a few blocks by a speeding car. That very night that they brought me to the hospital, it was doubted that I would survive that night. I had several internal injuries, a fractured collarbone, shattered ankle, broken arm, and a nearly severed finger. I was fucked up for about 3 months.

1) newborn: my mom fell asleep with a ciggy in her hand...when she woke up..there was a big ass hole in the bed right next to my head.

2) 6 years old: I choked on hot dog and my mother beat the shit out of me getting the hot dog from my throat

When I was 6 years old, I was sitting at the edge of the public swimming pool.

Someone pushed me into the pool, I wasn't a proficient swimmer. I started to go down, down, and suddenly someone had their hand under my bottom, and lifted me from the bottom of the pool to the edge..

As I was being lifted I looked down, and saw an Angel. I could see something flowing on his back. It was incredible..

One day I was watching one of the Incredible Story programs, and I saw something similiar to my experience on there.. I told my mom, that is my story.

Yeah, I'm going to need some backup on this one Captain.

Why were there no swimming lessons after the "first" incident?

1.When I was 14 my friend and I were held at Gunpoint by some drunk guy who wanted us to get in his car, a friend saved us.


2.When I was 16 an abusive boyfriend really crossed the line and stabbed me in the chest...luckly it was only a flesh wound ( I stil have a scar though) because another friend saved me.


3.When I was 18 I was in an historically (for my town anyway ) bad car wreck where a woman driving an SUV crashed into my Chevy Beretta ( it's so Jersey but I LOVED that car ) I was knocked out but was basicly unhurt... my passenger (was actually the girl who saved me in Number 2) had her knee cap crushed

Not really near death, but I'll share anyway...

Me and my girlfriend at the time had got into a wicked fight. I was vexed so I intestinally decided to practice my "wreck-less driving" skills. Going about 85 mph on a back road, I noticed a car in front of me. The speed was already to high to try to prevent an accident. I thought it was over, so I slammed on the breaks and expected the worse. The next thing I know the car was behind. It was like I literally passed straight through it. I know it sound crazy but I am not lying. Oh course, I decided to go to church that weekend!

Peace!
