Just wanted to say... you guys are real. You have just jumped from imaginary characters, artwork, and stories into real life, for me anyway. I have been dangling around the internet for a few years and have regularly visited your stories page, etc. Just was wondering around this evening, couldn't sleep. I am just about ready for that now, wanted to say thanks for all of your efforts and successes... married and all! Please do yourselves a favor... enjoy every embrace and moment together. Life can change in a few seconds and everything is oh, so very different. Just recovering from some unhappy events from a couple of months ago. We had unseasonable flooding that wiped out a very large area for literally miles... houses, roads, bridges, railroad beds, fences, whole swaths of trees. Concurrent with all of that, my wife experienced trouble breathing. So off the hospital we went, it is across the street. My mental picture: get her some oxygen, bring her home, continue on with life... Un hu... she passed out, stopped breathing right in front of the emergency room desk... (sorry) this is a little tougher than I expected... I wheeled her into triage... then on into the emergency area proper... people came from every direction. I felt out of place and that my car was still blocking the emergency room entry. Moved the car to a regular parking spot, returned to the emergency room, only to find the doors were all locked. Finally got back inside, but was not allowed to see my wife for two plus hours.
That whole twelve plus day episode is still all a blur. Later it is unofficially revealed to me that my wife didn't get her airway restored for seven minutes or longer. She sustained brain damage. If she had regained consciousness her life would be mere existence... vegetable.
So, like I said, hug and embrace your lovely wife and say you love her as though those are the last words you ever uttered.... your wedding photos are great... didn't look at all, but enjoyed what I did see. Thanks for keeping the web page up for so long.
I can remember a time, before the internet was what it is now, and we mainly had BBS exchange sites... for communicating and exchanging ideas and files.
thanks again, my apologies for words that may cause the negative emotion or two. Just didn't expect all of them to come running out so fast and didn't have the heart to delete the thoughts I didn't even know were that close to the surface... Got to go... work tomorrow
general... over all.... everywhere
