Great reminder to remember what’s actually important in life. Thanks, Tim!
Having lost both parents before I reached twenty-one, “being there” for my kids carries a very special meaning for me. Ric’s brief recounting of his experience is a poignant call to sit back every now and again, take stock and keep the truly important things on the top of “the list”. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to hear his story.
Thanks for pointing out this video Tim. It is amazing how a near death experience can change your perception of life. This guy truly did receive a great gift.
I had a similar experience when I was 27. I think that I will write a blog post about that experience.
