I want to dedicate this post to my husband Tim. Usually its always about the furniture but today I want to say that this week I almost lost my husband to a terrible workplace accident. Tim works as a Green keeper and somehow ended up face down in a dam with an Industrial mower on his back. I thank god his workmates saw the accident and after a couple of minutes dragged Tim out of the water. After a couple of days in intensive care I now have my husband home. What a week - the thought of losing your husband is something that I will never forget. We have been married 16 years and not only is he my husband but my best friend as well Cornie but true. So this week I have learnt that life is all about living - what a gift. Hope your all having a great weekend. I will be back with some furniture makeovers soon.

That must have been a terrifying experience, to put it mildly. Thank god for a good outcome. Take your time to relax and appreciate each other :)
Thank God you have him safe.
I hope he recovers quickly.
We can't take each other for granted can we.
words...how do you express them in response to such a scary and life threatening/examining ordeal?
I hope Tim is recovering and the rest of the family too. Such a frightening possibility! Hopefully you can all just lay low, and vegetate like brocolli - quiet family time.
Wishing Tim a speedy recovery, positve vibes and love; albeit from a complete stranger.

I am so sorry that this happened to your husband. I hope he is feeling much better. Yes life is very unpredictible and enjoy the minutes as they happen.
I am so glad he is home safe. Take it easy on yourself this week.
Wishing Tim a speedy recovery, and hopefully you can all find time to lay low as a family.
Such a shock to read your news although we've not met.
Sending you love and good vibes, and thanking you for a good reminder that other stuff is simply 'stuff' and it's the people and love that counts.

Oh my...sounds like you've been to hell and back. What a reminder of how fragile life is!
OMG! How awful for you and your hubby! Thank God he's ok.
You both need to recoup.
Hi Sandy, what a terrible thing to happen! Thank God his mates saw the accident and that he is ok now. It must have been such a fright for all of you. Just goes to show how things can change in an instant. take care, Maryann
I am so happy for you that your hubby is safe. I know it was a terrible scare for you. Hope he heals quickly from any injuries.

It hits home when you speak of freak accidents, as I nearly lost my hubby 10 years ago.So happy he was found so quickly, and has recovered well.Take care :)
Dear Sandy,
How absolutely terrifying for Tim, you and your family!! I am so happy for you that Tim is ok. My husband, Tim, also, is my bestfriend, too. There is nothing corny about it!! If I lost him, I would lose everything!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you recover from this terrible accident.
Love and warm hugs from Laura in Ontario, Canada.
Oh, thank God, he's okay! What a terrifying week this must have been for you.
Big hugs, Cindy
Thankfully things turned out well for you and your husband. It's scary how one moment can turn our world upside down.
Blessings!

Oh God Bless. I so hope he is ok now. I will keep you both in prayer for his recovery. Hugs, Marty
We are so blessed for the men God puts in our lives and the thought of losing my husband has crossed my mind before as he works in an oil refinery. I hate going there, but it does make me sure to say "I love you" before he steps out that door every day.
So glad your hubby is resting at home now.
Blessings to you this weekend.
Sandy, I am so relieved for your whole family that he is home safe now and I wish him a speedy recovery. It must have been a very dreadful week! Thank God people noticed what had happened and saved him! Take care of yourself too as he recovers!
Praise God he is ok, glad to hear. What a terrifying week.
WOW! You have had a very stressful week! I pray he continues to gain strength and get better.
Thank God he is o.k.
What a scary experience. One I hope you never have to repeat.
I'm so glad he is ok!! I almost lost my husband a couple of years ago, he had a heartattack at the age of 39, so I know how scary it can be. This is the 3rd time within the last couple of weeks I have heard of this happening in our area, two landscapers have fallen into the canals while on lawn mowers but unfortunatly they did not make it.
I'm so glad your Husband is okay, it is so true that we must enjoy every moment with the ones we love! Sending prayers for a speedy recovery!

I just recently found your blog but have never commented. I am so happy your husband is ok. Life is so fragile and unpredictable sometimes. Happy weekend:)
Oh, Sandy! What a horrible thing and but glad your husband is okay! I can't imagine how he must have felt going through this! Thankfully now he can rest up and you'll be a wonderful nurse taking care of him!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Omg...I'm so glad he is okay! My heart went out to you as I read your post! What a terrible and frightening week for you all!

Sandy, Sometimes it takes something like this to really alter our life and make us see what it is worth...that we can survive without all of our "things" and could part with them....but could not imagine parting with someone we love.
I believe that God was watching out for this man...and that co-worker was his angel on earth. It's amazing how each of us play such vital parts in each other's lives.
Blessings to you, my dear...and although I love to see pictures of your furniture...I am much happier to see pictures of your greatest treasure! Hugs- Diana
What a wonderful post!!! And I am so thankful your husband is okay. {{{hugs}}}
XOXO
Sandy, you poor thing (and your husband too of course) I know how it is to have someone you love so much be in serious conditions; I am so glad everything is okay now.. Thankyou for sharing, you two are such a cute couple!! And you have to be best friends to live with someone happily for a long period of time.. Thinking of you,
Laura xxxx
I got goosebumps... how scary for you. Thank goodness everything is ok xo

I always live with that in mind; I almost lost my hubby too and it makes each day that we have together such a blessing.
Sandy, I am so sorry to hear that your family has had such an awful week. I am so happy to hear that your hubby is home with you all. Take care of each other and just spend some time just 'being'. Hope your gorgeous children are ok now that their Dad is home. Wishing you all a wonderful week. Hugs ~ Tina x

Oh Sandy, I just noticed this post..how absolutely horrendous!!!I am so glad to hear he is on the mend. Strange you have been on my mind all week and i had noticed you hadn't been posting much. Life can change in a second as I know you know I understand...but something we often can forget as we go about our day to day...if there is anyway that I can help please, please ask, thinking of you all, cheers Katherine
Sandy, what a horrible and frightening week, and what a wonderful outcome. My prayers for Tim to be back on his feet and back to normal as soon as possible. Take care Julienne xx
OMG what a scary thing to happen. It puts life in perspective when something like this happens to our loved ones.
My nephew in law that lives near you is also a green keeper - Phil Soegaard - does Tim know him.
Thank goodness he is ok.
Alison
Oh, what an awful experience! So glad it turned out okay in the end. The alternative is too horrible to contemplate. Take care - all of you.
Oh my, how awful for everyone concerned, I'm so glad there was a happy ending. It's so precious isn't it (life I mean) - huge hugs for you both. x
What an awful experience to go through Sandy. I am so glad that he was rescued in time and is recovering well. Hugs to you and your family. xx
Sandy I just saw your post now...you and Tim make a gorgeous couple, and saying he is your best friend isn't corny at all, I say the same thing about Geoff :)
Still thinking of you and your precious family, I know we will meet one day!
xx Karen
Hi Sandy, My heart and prayers are with you and your husband. I pray he keeps getting stronger.

What a horrible time for you Sandy. It is wonderful that your hubby is back home again with you. I pray that he recovers fully and that you have many many many years ahead to enjoy life together. xx
So sorry to hear about your hubby's horrible accident but very glad that he is recovering. What would we do without our "best friend"? I can't imagine life without my hubby either. I'm sending prayers and blessings to you, your hubby and your family.
I'm so glad his guardian angel and his coworkers were on the ball. What a wakeup call for all of us that life can change in the blink of an eye. Wishing you lots of snuggles and kisses with him for many more years.
Oh my, I'm so glad to hear your hubby is alive and back home with you. How terrifying. love to you.
Sandy - What a scare that was. So happy your husband is OK. I wish him a speedy recovery and you take good care.
Sandy ,so happy that everything worked out well for your husband...Wishing him a speedy recovery and you a huge hug..xx
OMG Sandy, I am holding back tears sitting in the shop! OMG, this is just so very lucky honey. Wish I could give you a hug.
Wow your post gave me goosebumps. This actually happened to my dad about 15 years ago, well one of his staff, he didn't make it. My Dad found him and has never been the same since.
I hope you both recover soon xx.
So glad Tim is ok. Our lives can change in a moment. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Thank goodness yours only burped a bit.
Oh Sandy you poor sweetheart!! I can't imagine what a terrible scare that must have been for you and all the emotions you must have experienced. How terrible. So glad you husband is ok and home safe again. Big hugs to you and your family xx
Sandy, Definitely an emotional week but one that makes you realize what is important in life even if it is right there in front of you every day. I know that you treasure him every day no matter what but boy that really would scare the pants off from me to go thru that.
Glad to hear that he is doing well.
Take care,
Teri
My Goodness Sandy..what a horrible scare and event to have to deal with...so so very glad that your husband Tim is ok now and recovering well.
The only good out of an event like that is that it does make you ..stop...and realise just how precious and fragile life can be. So glad that all turned out well for your little family and that you are all together ..safe and sound.
Sending lots of love and positive light your way lovely xo
