Good News comes out of Bad

So on Saturday a bunch of friends and I were driving back to town from Rapid City when we hit a patch of a black ice doing 75mph. My buddy Adam is an EXCELLENT driver luckily, he managed to steer us towards the ditch so if we flipped we'd at least be tilling the ditch rather than gravel.

Well we spun a few times on 2 tires, and finally settled down. It was about an hour till I realized something amazing.

I've almost died 3 times in my life. All three times I experienced this deaf sensation where everything went silent while I started to pass. Two of the three times, I felt cold and a bit on edge. Not very comfortable at all.

This time was different however, I felt warm as time slowed down, and I heard a voice; The greatest person I've ever met. It was a repeat of her saying "I love you" from the night before that played back in my mind. Even when facing potentially deadly, high stakes, I found myself thinking of her and that voice that sends chills up my spine and brings a smile to my face every time.

I love Nikki, and there's nothing in the world that can change that now.
