Have you ever had a near death experience?

Kinda makes me think that death is an experience we each get to have once and maybe each is unique. I dunno.

Mom was in coma for week after stroke. She had been depressed for years. She sat up straight in bed with her eyes wide open and a radiant smile on her face for about 5 seconds, laid back down and died. I had not seen her smile in years.

Probably the closest thing I ever had to a near death experience was when I was a student athletic trainer in college.

Biggest, meanest player on the football team sits at my table to get his wrist and hand tape off after practice. I grabbed the scissors and with the first snip put a pretty good cut in the web between his thumb and index finger.

He yelped, blood started to flow, and I truly thought I was a dead man.

He looks at his hand, looks at me, says "You missed!" and stuck his hand back out for me to cut the tape off.
