My parents were vacationing in Ireland, and when they found out what had happened to me, they got on the first flight they could and came home. At the time, I did not know that some of the hospital staff had told them that I would maybe live for another five days, which was unknown to me when they arrived at the hospital to see me. I was only interested in one thing. Due to a recent breakup with a woman I thought I was going to marry, I had become depressed about that. It be became very important to me that they didn't think I was trying to commit suicide. I remember being in the hospital bed with a tube down my throat, which made it very hard to talk, but I had to tell my parents this wasn't an attempt to end my life. Despite how incredibly hard it was talk, but I managed to say what I needed to and tell them this was not an attempt at suicide. This was the most important thing to me to express, as I didn't want my mother to think I had tried to kill myself. Why exactly I was so intent to express this to her is obvious to me now and I'm glad I was able to tell my parents that this was just an accident.
