You know... sometimes it takes a kick to realise just how precious life is.

DH went into work this afternoon on afternoon shift to find out that one of the guys he works with was sucked down a chute when he was repairing a blocked valve. Apparently when it let go, the peas in the chute flowed down, and he went too...
He was very very lucky to be able to keep his face and an arm free of the peas, otherwise he would have suffocated...

It could have so easily been dh...

Things like this make you realise just how precious life actually is!
