Your loved one falls into a coma. Do you start dating again?

This reminds me of a story I heard once, about a couple that was in this situation. I think it occured somewhere in Europe, although I don't remember with certainty.

Anyway, a man's wife fell into a coma, and he waited a very long time for her, driving a very long way to see her every single day. Eventually, the pain of this was too much to bear, and he commited suicide. That same day (I think) his wife regained full consciousness. Damn.

If such a thing happened to me, I truly think I would wait as long as it takes, and if not that, at least a good 5-10 years. And I certainly wouldn't kill myself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No. I'm pretty sure I do know that aspect of myself. Introspection is something I have done a lot of in my life, especially concerning issues such as marriage, love, fidelity, and even death. And knowing what I know about myself, I know that I would wait for her.

I know what I would do. I can't say for sure exactly how long I would wait, but I know that I would not simply abandon the person I care for the most after only a few years.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But I do plenty of productive things. This week was holy week, and I was up at the crack of dawn every day to run the mixing console at church. Then I went home and post-produced the sermons that were given, so that they were suitable for radio broadcast.

Soon, I will be setting up their computer systems. (We just recieved a shipment of literally dozens of computers.)

But I still set aside time for thought, usually when I'm out taking photographs. (That's productive, too!)

Although I still contend that I know myself well. As for your second point, I suppose I can't really argue with that. Point taken.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
