I knew my late husband and I had a strong connection when we'd been together for about a year and I had minor surgery. We stopped at Safeway on the way home so he could pick up my prescription for pain pills for me. As he got out of the car, he asked if I wanted anything. I said no, but as I watched him walk toward the store I wished I'd ask him to get me a container of Double Fudge Brownie Ben and Jerry's (my fave-which he didn't know).
Twenty minutes later, he came out of the store with my drugs and my Double Fudge Brownie ice cream.
The night he died, while I was racing to the hospital, the little voice in my head told me I was too late-he was already gone and he was.
Yep I remember the moment when I was yelling (for the gazillionth time) at my ex-husbands back, disappearing into his shed, when I realised I'd married a male version of my mother...only took me 10 years.
Well, they always say a girl marries her father, not her mother...!
I wish I had a sweet one but I don't. I realized how I felt about my ex when he came out gay 4 years ago. It was pure sweet relief.
Also, I was in an accident a few years ago similar to the OP and like hers mine went in slow motion and I realized that I was ready for my maker and wasn't particularly afraid except that my kids were in the car and I didn't want anything to happen to them. Despite coming within a hair of getting killed, not one of us had so much as a scratch. I'm not all that religious--I'm a Christian but not over the top, but I was ready for God if I needed to be. That was a very calming feeling.
Before marrying my wife and i had a long distance relationship, she in south carolina and me in colorado. We would say all the typical stuff to each other- i love u, will never leave you, will always be there for you, etc. One day i called her and told her i was going trout fishing in the mountains with a buddy of mine and that i would call her when i got back. She tried to talk me out of it, said that she had a bad feeling about it and so forth. I told her dont worry my buddy was use to going up to this spot we would be fishing in and she had nothing to worry about. We were up there a couple of days when a bad storm could be heard off in the distance. Thinking we had enough time to unload the canoe was our biggest mistake. We were both hit by lightning knocking us both out cold and when i finally woke up in the hospital i heard, " i love you, will never leave you, and will always be there for you..."

I'm not a very sensitive person and it could be hormones but your post made me cry.
I can't imagine going through that and I admire your strength and courage to carry on. *hugs*
