Death Was Near

In the same month, my husband had two close encounters with death. First, a stray bullet that landed a few inches from where he was. What are the odds! Then a week later, He had a small stroke. It forces him to undergo a carotid artery surgery. Waiting for the surgery, made us a bit anxious. It was a good sign, to know he had escaped death weeks before. A period of profound teachings. Trusting in “God-Universe” Made the whole process easier. We went with the flow. He is recuperating now. We are humbler. Appreciate each other more. Grateful with doctors, nurses, family, life in general... Death was near. Offering us another perspective. The adventure of being alive. Life never ceases to amaze us.
