Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the heartwarming comments you had left on this thread and my family photo ;) I have also received numerous emails from folks touched by my story. I am happy that I could share this day with all of you. I'm even more than happy to share my life experiences with my friends as well ;)

I have truly been blessed with a wonderful and happy and healthy family, a truly understanding girlfriend who tolerates my obsessive compulsive hobby , and numerous friends who always remind me what to enjoy in life.

The afterlife has great and special meanings for me and one of which I am happy to share with all of you as well. Live life to the fullest and cherish all those who mean the world to you ;)

Thanks.

Rikki

Rikki! Great story! Happy Birthday, bruthah!

Someday I'll post all my near death experiences. Oddly, one of them was also in the Phillipines.

Glad you're here.

Wow! What a great story! Many years ago, my Mom almost succeeded taking her life and we were just talking about it yesterday (Mother's Day). I never looked at it that way, but she has had many ''birthdays'' since. Thank God!
Thanks for sharing your story. You have a wonderful Mom!

Thanks guys. Today has been more than a birthday. It's been a celebration of life ;)

Would love to hear your stories too brutha ;) Oh by the way, regarding your comment on our family photo... well... you know what to do ;)

I'll be waiting for the "improvements" soon.

Happy birthday, Rikki! Very touching story and a gentle reminder to us all of the fragility of life. Thanks.

Oh, so it was today (er, yesterday)? I remembered reading about it in the original thread, then couldn't find the thread again. I was going to start a "Happy birthday, Rikki" thread - but on the 21st, which was the date I remembered and got wrong). Well, that would have been too late, eh.
Happy birthday, kiddo. ;>)

I think you mean you want me to post the ORIGINAL!



As if I wasn't upset enough, you had to edit me out of the family pic!

Great Story Rikki,

God has a plan and a purpose for all of us, but especially you:

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

Thanks for sharing it with us,

Enzo
