RE: I Almost Drowned, and I Didn't Tell My Family

in #writing7 years ago

Wow, that would have been horrible. I'm glad all 3 of you are okay! It really hangs in the back of your mind and occasionallay pops up vividly in your memory. I had the displeasure of experiencing severe hypothermia during another instance. I was in a boat with my 2 brothers and 2 nephews in the dead of winter in sub freezing weather, and the boat sank out in the lake. There were sheets of ice all around us. My nephews both just froze up and didn't even try to swim. One of my brothers didn't know how to swim. I'm gonna write about it too. We're all still alive. It was hard.

I can't even imagine that! Please do write about it! I'm beginning to suspect you're actually a cat. ;)

Don't say that! It might bring me bad luck! lol. I'm going to try very very hard to not ever be back in one of those situations again. I know sometimes it is out of our hands though. I'm still gonna try! I'll tell the story of that frigid experience soon enough. It really sucked because I had to leave that same day with my aunt and uncle to stay with them in Arkansas for a nice long visit. It ruined part of my trip because I could not step foot out in the cold air for a week. The slightest bit of cold air would make me start shivering uncontrollably. I was back in a boat a couple weeks later holding on for dear life, and the boat had a hole in it! There was a 5 inch fountain of water in the bottom. All part of the story when I write it. :)
