6 Things I've Learned Since Having a Near-Death Experience

1. For some people, you will literally have to die before they'll be compelled enough to see you.

2. For other people, you will literally have to almost die before they'll be compelled enough to speak to you.

3. What hurts more than being shot is the grueling process of recovery.

4. What helps the grueling process of recovery more than the pain meds is love.

5. The ones who love what I have to give will not be there when I no longer have any of me to spare.

6. But the ones who love who I am will never hesitate to show up when they know I need it most.
