Here for the taking.

He looked Death in the eye and told Him that it was not his time to go.
He told Him he had a family back home. A son that would be devistated to know his dad wouldn't be at another track meet ever again, a daughter that would be devistated that her dad would never get to take her camping and fishing again, and a wife who would not be able to live without him. He told Death that he would not go no matter how bad Death wanted him to. Death told him that the people up above thought he was gone already so why not just prove them right. He told Death that he was a fighter and no one could talk him out of living. So he fought Death he fought Him until the end, when he finally surfaced and saw the light along with the people above.

I love this. It's my favorite thing you have ever written. It's beautiful.

Your dad is a fighter. Only he could have survived that the way he did.
