Mixed Tenses: example text
Yesterday, I was talking to a very dear friend of mine who told me that he had been working in NY when he had a stroke. It shocked me as he has been a very fit individual ever since I have known him. Obviously he survived to tell the tale but it was a very traumatic experience.
Apparently, when he reached the hospital after being rushed to hospital, they managed to get his heart going again by use of a defibrillator. It had changed his view on life and he has decided to live life to the full.
I can't imagine how such an event would affect my view on life......I think I would start to regret the things that I have never done. Perhaps I would book a trip around the world and make a list of all the other things I have been wanting to do.....a bucket list I believe it is called.
I had never thought of such things before, but it woke me up and made me pay more attention to my own life.
