text: what's the closest you've ever come to death?   child birth with no pain medicine. if that didnt kill, nothing will.  on a more serious note, when i was 12 i was in a car accident on an icy country road (it was springtime). the car i was in flipped over, i think they said 2 or 3 times and we ended up in a ditch. the ditch was pretty full with water runoff from melting snow so the car was coming in the windows. i had to sit in a sit up position for like 2 hours until someone found us. that experience also gave me my first look at death. my uncle was decapitated by the roof. the roof peeled back as we rolled down the enbankment.
