i am my own hero. i survided outside holding onto an electrical wire for 6 hours in 12 feet of water.i actually drowned and came back to life. the last thing i remember is telling god thank you for my life, yelling i love you to my girlfriend. then i just felt total peace over all my body. i saw my body lying in the water then im sitting in a chair in a storage area downstairs. i do know when the water went down or un-tying my hand. then i slept in that muddy chair for 3 days before i saw a guy from people magazine who took my story and pictures and then printed them in september 12 issue, page 67, 2005.
