I could forget. Thinking you are going to die is a feeling I can't describe. All I could think of was my wife and kids and how I didn't want to leave them husband and fatherless. Ultimately with Heavenly Father's help and that drive to hang on for them, I pulled through and held on. It wasn't my time to go thankfully. I am grateful for it every day I'm still here.
