1. Left For Dead

2. Mind Compares himself to an alcoholic—something he MUST do. Left for dead three times. Spend 15 hours in the snow and cold. Wakes up to images of his family. Giving up was NOT an option. He wasn’t ready to die. Thought his hands could be saved, but knew his injuries were severe. His scars will remind him of what has happened and to be thankful. Will do whatever it takes to get back to work.

3. Body Massive frostbite—face, nose (falls off), loses his right hand completely and fingers on his left hand. Multiple surgeries to reconstruct his hand and nose. Muscle from back and temple to construct a mitt on his left hand. Cartilage from his ear and skin from his forehead to reconstruct his nose.

4. Family Didn’t spend enough time with his family and needs to make up for it. Unfinished business with his family. Tension in the marriage—on the verge of divorce. Two people living in the same house, but living separate lives. Peach describes herself as, “A pawn in a game of chess she didn’t want to play.” Peach is bitter with the selfish decision her husband made. Fear and sorrow learning of his death then being still alive.

5. Soul Sold his soul to the devil and the devil won. Obsession with climbing the mountain—would do ANYTHING to climb. Not a spiritual man, but admits that a greater force and the prayers of others saved him. Why did he survive and others died?
