Such a good story. I'm glad he came around. It's amazing what a near-death experience can do for a man. I'm glad for him and his wife. Maybe she will be happier in the future and so will he. Wonderful story, Steve.

Yes. There's nothing like a near death experience for waking one up to the value of life. Thanks a lot for reading and taking the time to comment.

I'm glad this didn't end with the dark twist I was expecting at the end!

Let this piece act as a reminder to all of us.
