I've had grandparents die, uncles die, pets die.
I've seen final stage alzheimers, I've seen full blown cancer.
I've seen girls walk away from me. I've seen girls I've loved not love me back.
The single most life-altering path of my life was a life threatening injury. While its terrible to watch a family member die, its even moreso frightening to know that you have a very good chance of dying yourself. Even though your thankful you had it happen to you and not someone closer to you.
Its that simple: I could have not woken up.
